...Deepak K. Prajapati; Mayank Tiwari Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is one of the major problems observed in gear mechanisms, which leads to high friction, ultimately resulting in high energy consumption. This paper demonstrates the evolution of surface topography during running-in and subsequent RCF...

...Saleh Akbarzadeh; M. M. Khonsari A model is presented, which enables one to predict the running-in performance of the rolling/sliding surfaces subjected to mixed-lubrication line contact. The load-sharing concept was used, in which it is assumed that both the fluid film and the asperities...

...Yeau-Ren Jeng; Zhi-Way Lin; Shiuh-Hwa Shyu This study investigated the surface topographical changes during running-in. A theoretical model, which is composed of Johnson translatory system and a microscopic wear model, was used to describe the changes of surface roughness during running...
