S is the Sommerfeld Number or bearing characteristic number r is the shaft radius c is the radial clearance μ is the absolute viscosity of the lubricant N is the speed of the rotating shaft in rev/s P is the load per unit of projected bearing area. The second part of the equation is seen to be the Hersey number.
An online calculator is available on www.tribonet.org that allows calculating Stribeck curve for line [16] and point [17] contacts. These tools are based on the load-sharing concept. Also molecular simulation based on classical force fields can be used for predicting the Stribeck curve. [18] Thereby, underlying molecular mechanisms can be ...
The Abbott-Firestone curve was first described by Ernest James Abbott and Floyd Firestone in 1933. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is useful for understanding the properties of sealing and bearing surfaces. It is commonly used in the engineering and manufacturing of piston cylinder bores of internal combustion engines . [ 5 ]
It gives the contact stress as a function of the normal contact force, the radii of curvature of both bodies and the modulus of elasticity of both bodies. Hertzian contact stress forms the foundation for the equations for load bearing capabilities and fatigue life in bearings, gears, and any other bodies where two surfaces are in contact.
The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of ...
Slope parameters describe characteristics of the slope of the roughness profile. ... These parameters are based on the bearing ratio curve ... Example of calculation ...
Richard Stribeck carried out studies in the field of tribology, focusing on friction in lubricated sliding contacts, such as journal bearings.His work lead to the development of the Stribeck Curve, a fundamental tribological concept that shows how operation conditions (in particular normal load, lubricant viscosity and lubricant entrainment velocity) influence the friction coefficient in fluid ...
N = bearing speed. This is the maximum amount of revolutions per minute (RPM) that the bearing will move. The DN factor of a bearing is obtained by multiplying the median diameter (A + B)/2 by RPM, and sometimes by a correction factor. [2] [6] This correction factor may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
