... of the sealing contact is due to the migration of contaminant particles. The migration reduces the probability of particles to reach the sealing and bearing contacts. 27 05 2011 27 05 2011 06 10 2011 06 10 2011 greases lubricating oils organic compounds probability rolling...

... a single threshold stress for a given combination of materials. A computer-modeled experiment involving a 300 series stainless steel is used to illustrate how the enhanced analysis can be applied to determine the repeatability of galling test results. adhesion plastic deformation probability...

... to calculate the mean, standard deviation and probability density function of the bearing performance measures. Subsequently, a probabilistic sensitivity analysis is described for identifying the important random variables. Finally, a reliability-based design optimization study is conducted for optimizing...

... such as gaps or eccentricities. A probabilistic method is proposed here, which takes into account the actual dispersion of test parameters and the uncertainties on physical parameters for the computation of the test rig dynamics. The probability density function of wear work rate is used to assess...
