The Tribology of Undulated Surfaces

Abstract

The objective of this research has been to investigate the friction, wear and lubrication characteristics of undulating metallic surfaces. Both dry and lubricated sliding experiments have been conducted to evaluate the tribological behavior of metallic surfaces. In addition, analytical studies have been carried out on the friction and wear behavior of the undulated surfaces, and practical applications of the undulated surfaces have also been explored.
