Abstract
AbstractThe factors influencing the load‐carrying capacity of tribological contacts are reviewed. The load‐carrying capacity depends in part on the lubrication regime, and hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication are discussed. In some circumstances, lubrication is not possible. The parameters of dry rubbing are described, and approaches to the design and operation of dry bearings are discussed, particularly the choice of suitable non‐metallic materials for use in the wear couple.
