In this paper, a software solution is presented for advanced friction modeling in metal forming processes, using a physically-based friction model. As input, the model requires the properties of the metal-lubricant combination used and the surface characteristics of the tooling and sheet material. As output, the friction coefficient is provided in both the boundary and mixed lubrication regime....

This article presents a novel mixed-thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) model for the lateral lubricating interfaces which exist between floating lateral bushings and gears in external gear machines (EGMs). The proposed model integrates the influence of surface asperities along with the fluid structure and thermal interaction in the interface, especially in the regions of very low film thicknesses ...

The lubrication regime in which artificial hip joints operate adds complexity to the prediction of wear, as the joint operates in both the full fluid film regime-specifically the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime-and the mixed or boundary lubrication regimes, where contact between the bearing surfaces results in wear. In this work, a wear model is developed which considers lubrication...

The human knee implant is computationally modelled in the mixed lubrication regime to investigate tribological performance of implant. This model includes complex geometry components, unlike elliptical contact models that approximate this geometry. Film thickness and pressure results are presented for an ISO gait cycle determine present within during its operation. It was found it possible span...
