Abstract
This paper presents the performance characteristics of two surfaces in line contact under isothermal mixed lubrication with non-Newtonian liquid–solid lubricant base on Power law viscosity model. The time dependent Reynolds equation, elastic equation and viscosity equation were formulated for compressible fluid. Newton-Raphson method and multigrid technique were implemented to obtain film thickness profiles, friction coefficient and load carrying in the contact region at various roughness amplitudes, applied loads, speeds and the concentration of solid lubricant. The simulation results showed that roughness amplitude has a significant effect on the film pressure, film thickness and surface contact pressure in the contact region. The film thickness decrease but friction coefficient and asperities load rapidly increases when surface roughness amplitude increases or surface speed decreases. When the concentration of solid lubricant increased, friction coefficient and asperities load decrease but traction and film thickness increase.
