Popis: | This work analyses the effects of surface texturing on friction under different lubrication regimes by means of experiments performed with non-conformal contacts. Different texturing designs were created on the surfaces of testing specimens by means of a photolithography and chemical etching process. The testing conditions were selected using a theoretical model for predicting film thickness, which ensure that experimental conditions cover from fluid film to mixed lubrication. The results show that some designs of textured surfaces achieve important reductions in friction, especially under mixed lubrication conditions. |
