Friction Reducing Effect of and Design Guidelines for Groove Shaped Surface Texturing under Reciprocating Lubrication

The present paper refers to our study on reducing friction reciprocating sliding surfaces by surface texturing. purpose of this is develop optimal design guidelines for texturing clarifying its effect the lubrication characteristics under various operating conditions. Numerical analysis has been performed solving Reynolds equation using finite element method evaluate texturing．The major results are that; 1) a barrel face slider with groove-shaped can be organized bearing modulus consisting viscosity coefficient lubricant, average speed, and pressure.; 2) Friction loss reduced applying appropriate depth arrangement according value modulus, as compared case no
