Starvation is the regime of elastohydrodynamic lubrication which is designated with thinner lubrication films than fully flooded regime. Paper summarizes main aspects of starvation and deals with differences in area of experimental investigation of starved lubrication phenomena in comparison with fully flooded regime. Thinner lubrication film creates obstacles in experiment process and data evaluation. Effect that can be neglected in the fully flooded regime can create obstacles. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This paper deals with an experimental study of lubricant film in an experimental device (tribometer). Lubricating film is formed between a glass disc and steel ball on which modification for friction surfaces have been made. The experiment is aimed at both fully flooded EHL lubrication regime as well as the starved. This document also deals with a comparison of micro dents passage through a contact at different degrees of slip. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
