... with typical inner and/or outer cooling flows. Predicted film temperatures agree with published test data, demonstrating the effectiveness of an outer cooling stream to remove heat and to control the operating temperature. The inner flow stream is not as efficient. The analysis shows paths of thermal energy...

... (mechanical) heating thermal conductivity surface roughness mechanical contact forming processes plastic deformation hardness lubrication The relation between seizure in lubricated sliding systems and the temperature at which a tribo system operates is studied extensively. Pin-plate...

...P. Zagrodzki; K. B. Lam; E. Al Bahkali; J. R. Barber A transient finite element simulation is developed for the two-dimensional thermoelastic contact problem of a stationary layer between two sliding layers, with frictional heat generation. The Petrov-Galerkin algorithm is used to discretize...

... and integrated into the technique to measure and map the variation of surface thermal diffusivity of a material. This technique can be used to detect any surface’s thermal defects of a material. It is also useful in studying the surface temperature distribution of a heat application material. One of its...
