Abstract

The surface morphology of oil-lubricated surfaces fer hydraulic piston motors is believed to be extremely effective in contact mechanics, adhesion, friction and weak In order to describe morphology of various rubbed surfaces on driving conditions, the wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions in an oil-lubricated system. And fractal descriptors were applied to rubbed surfaces of hydraulic members and analyzed through an image processing system. These descriptors to analyze surface structure are fractal dimension. Surface fractal dimensions can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. The morphology of rubbed surfaces can be effectively obtained by fractal dimension.
