A friction test rig has been developed to carry out repeated sliding friction tests for premium tubular connections. The test rig enables accurate measurement of friction in various contact regimes which are relevant to the threaded connections between tubular components. Higher load tests can simulate the contact in metal-to-metal seals under very high contact pressures by using perpendicular pin-on-pin...
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary technology dealing with the design and manufacture of miniaturised machines or moving (or micro) mechanical assemblies (MMAs) with major dimensions at the scale of tens, to perhaps hundreds, of microns. Because they depend on the cube of a representative dimension, component masses and inertia rapidly become small as size...
Friction between the rake face of a cutting tool and the freshly formed chip surface plays a vital role in influencing both the ease of cutting and the quality of the resultant machined surface. The existence of clean metallic surfaces together with the high local hydrostatic stresses favour the formation of strong adhesion between the cutting tool or insert and the machined component. These adhesive...
A large class of tribological contacts involve two components, each carrying finite roughness, sliding over one another for many repeated cycles of operation. Although the initial contact may be plastic the steady state situation is one of elastic stress fields in each consistent with the presence of a low shear strength boundary film on one or both of the surfaces. In order to relate the overall...
