The paper is on contact analysis of a spherical ball with a deformable flat, considering the effect of tangent modulus on the contact parameters of a non-adhesive frictionless elastic-plastic contact. The contact analysis of this model has been carried out using analysis software Ansys and Abaqus. The contact parameters such as area of contact between two consecutive steps, volume of bulged material are evaluated from the formulated equations. The effect of the tangent modulus is considered for determining these parameters. The tangent modulus are accounted between 0.1E and 0.5E of materials E/Y value greater than 500 and less than 1750. Result shows that upto an optimal tangent modulus values the elastic core push up to the free surface in the flat. The simulation is also carried out in Abaqus and result provide evidence for the volume of bulged material in the contact region move up and flow into the free surface of the flat from the contact edge between the ball and flat. The strain energy of the whole model is varied between 20 to 40 percentage of the stipulated time for analysis.

The tribological properties of eight different liquid crystals were investigated in a concentrated point contact device and a ball-on-flat contact. For comparison, the same tests were also performed with commercial greases and the corresponding base oils. Under the fully flooded conditions studied, liquid crystals in a concentrated point contact showed lower friction than commercial greases and greater film thickness dependence on rolling speed than grease base oils or greases. Test results also showed that the film thickness and friction were little influenced by the composition of the examined liquid crystals.

본 연구에서는 동적인 상태에서 구름접촉 거동을 좀더 명확히 하기 위해서 마 찰의 발생기구가 탄성이력손실에 기인한다는 이론을 기초로 압축 코일스프링을 이용한 감쇠자유진동시스템으로 구성된 실험장치에 의해서 구의 직경, 수직하중, 평면만의 표 면거칠기를 변화시켜 구름접촉면의 감쇠특성을 검토하고 이로부터 구름마찰력과 대수 감쇠율을 구한 다음 대수감쇠율과 진폭의 관계를 이용해서 실험에 의한 새로운 접촉폭 산출방법을 제시하고 Hertz이론에 의한 접촉폭과 마찰이론의 역학적 해석에 의한 접촉 폭과 비교, 분석해 보았다.

콘택트 렌즈를 피팅하는 경우 각막곡율에 따른 렌즈의 베이스커브 및 직경의 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 각막곡율별로 stainless steel ball 및 wood ball 모형안을 사용하여 피팅 시뮬레이션을 시도하였다. 완전구면체인 steel ball에 대한 피팅은 대부분 flat fitting으로 관찰되었지만 건성안에 대한 피팅 관찰용의 정량적인 모형안으로는 적합하였다. 사람의 안구와 유사한 형태의 wood ball에 대한 렌츠피팅의 형상은 실제 안구에 대한 피팅 형상과 결과가 거의 유사하였다. 콘택트렌즈의 최적 피팅(normal fitting)에 요구되는 각막곡율과 베이스커브(B.C)의 관계는 다음과 같이 정리할 수 있다. 즉 각막곡율 7.6mm 이하에서는 B.C 8.4mm, 각막곡율 7.6~7.8mm에서는 B.C 8.4~8.5mm, 각막곡율 7.8~8.1mm에서는 B.C 8.6mm이다. 또한 평균 각막곡율이 7.6mm일 때 안구돌출이 심한 경우 피팅 렌즈의 B.C는 정상안(7.6mm 각막곡율)의 B.C보다 0.1~0.3mm 더 커야 하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 지나치게 얇은 렌즈를 건성안 모형에 피팅한 결과 심하게 휘거나 뒤틀리는 현상이 발생하였다. Wood ball 모형안에 대한 피팅 결과는 비교적 실제안구에 대한 결과와 대부분 일치하지만 실제 순목 현상에 따른 피팅 상태의 변화를 감지할 수 없는 결점이 있다. 따라서 이 문제점을 포함하여 실제안구에 미치지 못하는 기타 문제점을 보완한다면, wood ball은 콘택트렌즈의 피팅에 따른 물리화학 및 유체역학적인 해석에 활용할 수 있는 좋은 도구(모형안)가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The electric contact resistance between ball and disk was measured to estimate the real area of contact under dry and lubrication conditions. The results from the measured constriction resistance using the hypothesis of a single circular contact was compared with those of Hertzian contact theory and hardness. The resistance correlated well with the asperity contact area and friction when the ball slides on the flat disk spreaded with lubricant film. Therefore, the constriction resistance method was useful to identify the lubrication regimes with respect to various loads and speeds. The results of this work will aid in better prediction of lubrication regimes with respect to the operating conditions.

Nano/micro friction with the contact area was studied on Si-wafer (100) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. Borosilicate balls of radii $0.32{\mu}m,\;0.5{\mu}m,\;1.25{\mu}m\;and\;2.5{\mu}m$ mounted on the top of AFM tip (NPS) were used for nano-scale contact and Soda Lime glass balls of radii 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1mm were used for micro-scale contact. At nano-scale, the friction between ball and surface was measured with the applied normal load using an atomic force microscope (AFM), and at micro scale it was measured using ball-on flat type micro-tribotester. All the experiments were conducted at controlled conditions of temperature $(24\pm1^{\circ}C)$ and humidity $(45\pm5\%)$. Friction was measured as a function of applied normal load in the range of 0-160nN at nano scale and in the range of $1000{\mu}N,\; 1500{\mu}N,\;3000{\mu}N\;and\;4800{\mu}N$ at micro scale. Results showed that the friction at nano scale increased with the applied normal load and ball size for both kinds of samples. Similar behavior of friction with the applied normal load and ball size was observed for Si-wafer at micro scale. However, for DLC friction decreased with the ball size. This difference of in behavior of friction in DLC nano- and microscale was attribute to the difference in the operating mechanisms. The evidence of the operating mechanisms at micro-scale were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). At micro-scale, solid-solid adhesion was dominant in Silicon-wafer, while plowing in DLC. Contrary to the nano scale that shows almost a wear-less situation, wear was prominent at micro-scale. At nano- and micro-scale, effect of contact area on the friction was discussed with the different applied normal load and ball size.

The multiple character of the contact interaction and the collective behavior of elementary microcontacts play a significant role in all the processes occurring in the surface layers, including the failure due to friction and wear. The array of metal spheres compressed between flat plates has been used for simulation of the contact behavior of multiple contact of solids under normal loading. An experimental design has been made providing regular array of the spheres at the same size with different spatial order. Measurement of electrial contact resistance has been made using the equipment providing the adequate accuracy in the range of micro Ohms. The data on electrical contact resistance have been compared with theoretical predictions using the multiple contact model of constriction resistance. The effect of single spots number and array on conductivity of contact has been evaluated.

The results of the electrical contact conductivity of multi-contact spots accounting the surface roughness and the non-conductive films of different origins such as air, water, cutting oil, and machining oil are presented. The array of metal spheres compressed between two flat plates has been used for simulation of the contact behavior of multiple contact of solids, under normal loading. Measurement of electrical contact resistance has been made using the equipment providing the adequate accuracy in the range of micro Ohms. The data on electrical contact resistance have been compared with theoretical predictions using the multiple contact model of constriction resistance. The effect of single spot number and array on conductivity of contact has been evaluated. The results of the experiments show that the contact resistance are closely related to the number of loading cycles, form of surface roughness, and presence of non-conductive films that reduce the size of the real electrical contact spots.

In an indentation approach, the smooth rigid spherical ball penetrated into a deformable flat is considered for the study based on contact mechanics approach. The elastic-plastic frictionless spherical indentation analysis has been under taken in the finite element analysis using "ABAQUS" and experimental study. The spherical indentation has been studied for the materials like steel, aluminium, copper and brass with an identical spherical indenter for diverse indentation depths. The springback analysis is executed for studying the actual indentation depth after the indenter is unloaded. In the springback simulation, the material recovers its elastic deformation after the indenter is unloaded. The residual diameter and depth of an indentation for various materials are measured and compared with simulation results. It shows a good agreement between the simulation and an experimental studies.

Engine testing of new low-sulfur, low-phosphorus anti wear components is expensive and time consuming so bench testing of potential candidates is highly desirable as a first step evaluation. Electrical contact resistance (ECR) has been shown to be a convenient method to assess antiwear film formation in a ball-on-flat bench wear test. Correlation of the bench test to fired engines was demonstrated for lubricants varying only in the type of detergent. Previous papers have examined film formation by one and two component formulations of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZnDTP) and detergents. In this study, the ECR technique is systematically extended to formulations including ZnDTP, detergent, and dispersant. Both type and level of components are considered and the implications for engine performance are discussed.
