Advances in Fundamental Studies on Partially Filled Tribological Gaps

Tribological scenarios with partially ﬁlled gaps can occur when either a lubricated system runs under starved lubrication or a system that usually operates under dry conditions is wetted by a ﬂuid. In order to get a detailed insight into the tribological character of partially ﬁlled gaps, it is necessary to investigate the dynamics of the ﬂuid ﬂow and its interaction with the pressure, velocity, nominal gap height and deformations. Within this problem, the total amount of ﬂuid in the gap plays a crucial role. Recent studies with novel models have shown that particularly near the fully ﬁlled regime the built up pressure is highly dependent on the ﬁlling ratio. Further studies proved that the ﬂuid forms characteristic bow waves in front of asperities thus leading to larger mean pressure values in the contact. This paper extends these ﬁndings by experimental investigations on different length scales. Special focus is on the correlation between the friction coefﬁcient and the supplied ﬂuid volume.

The Effect of Non-Fully Filled Gaps in Elastic Tribological Contacts

In recent papers, the authors of this paper investigated the dynamic behavior in partially fluid-filled tribological gaps with a novel modeling technique. The impact of the fluid amount towards the buildup of hydrodynamic pressures has been demonstrated. It shows high nonlinearities with respect to the correlation of the filling ratio and the mean pressure, in particular near the fully filled regime. So far, this modeling technique neglected deformations caused by the pressures in the gap. This paper is focused on fundamental studies on the impact of elastic deformations in combination with varying filling ratios onto the pressure characteristic. The studies are performed using an example of two ellipsoidal bodies moving relative to one another. The size of the ellipsoids is varied which allows modifying the gap topography. In this paper, the essential effect of elastic deformations at very small gaps is shown. It is discussed that it is very complex to formulate a general rule about parameter sets that give the possibility to neglect elastic deformations.
