Comparison of the Influences of Surface Texture and Boundary Slip on Tribological Performances

الملخص EN

Close attentions have been widely paid to the engineering textured and slip surfaces for improving bearing tribological performances.

Comparison studies on the tribological characteristics of slip and textured surfaces are carried out in this work.

The analysis results point out that the influences of surface texture and boundary slip on tribological performances of slider bearing are strongly similar.

For the determinate surface textures, there is one and only value of slip velocity to make the tribological performances of textured and slip surfaces in agreement.

The corresponding relation between the slip velocity and the texture structure parameters is also obtained, and the size of slip velocity is directly related to the texture geometry parameters including its position parameters.

This study will help us to further understand the relationship between boundary slip and surface texture and also the slip phenomenon.
