Characterizing and designing lubricants on the computer

Computational models based on molecular structure properties

15-Apr-2020 - Lubricated shafts, bearings and gears only run 'like clockwork' when the components slide on a perfect lubricating film, generating as little friction, wear and energy loss as possible. To achieve this, engineers need to know the behavior of the lubricant film in the so-called tribo-contact, ...
