Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Deterministic Asperity Geometry on Hydrodynamic Lubrication
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of the effects of different shapes of deterministic microasperities in sliding surface lubrication when hydrodynamic films are found is presented, and the results indicate that the friction coefficient is insensitive to asperity/cavity shape, but quite sensitive to the size of the cross-section.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deterministic Micro Asperities on Bearings and Seals Using a Modified LIGA Process
TL;DR: In this article, the LIGA MEMs manufacturing method is used to fabricate a sample thrust bearing surface with a hexagonal array of positive asperities, which can have heights of 3-100 μm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Soft Elastohydrodynamic Analysis of Radial Lip Seals With Deterministic Microasperities on the Shaft
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the elastohydrodynamic effect of deterministic microasperities on the shaft of a lip seal and the results showed that the presence of all designs in the lip seal showed significant improvement on lubrication characteristics, i.e. increasing load support and reducing friction coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force and torque characteristics for a slotless Lorentz self-bearing servomotor
TL;DR: In this article, a self-bearing motor is presented that uses Lorentz-type forces to produce both bearing force and motoring torque, and a linearized force-current-displacement relationship is derived for a general operating point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental results for a heat-sink mechanical seal
TL;DR: In this article, a heat-sink seal is constructed of a stainless steel substrate with an electrodeposited pin fin micro-heat sink located within 3 mm of the end face.
