A theoretical model of micro-pool lubrication in metal forming
Sy-Wei Lo,William R. D. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of a secondary hydrodynamic lubrication mechanism, called micro-pool or microplasto hydrodynamical lubrication, has been developed, which shows that, with sufficiently high viscosity and sliding speed, the lubricant trapped in the micropools between the tool and workpiece can be drawn into the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Study on Flow Phenomena in Mixed Lubrication Regime by Porous Medium Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined the flow factor method, porous medium model and continuum percolation theory to investigate the flow phenomena in the mixed lubrication regime, where not only the lubricant flow can be solved but also the anisotropicoic percolated threshold can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Effects of Roughness Orientation—A Mapping and Double Scale Analysis of Flow Factors
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive approach for computing the lubricant flow as functions of the roughness orientation is presented, where a periodic, anisotropic surface is transformed into an isotropic one by using a mapping function.
