Analysis of Some Problems Related to Tribology

Abstract

Global economic development has resulted in a big way the progress of transportation system alternately accelerated growth in automotive products cycle two wheelers four wheelers and luggage carriers The adverse effect of this in automotive sectors is higher import of fossil fuel which has effected decrease in rupee versus dollar Research is required to identify the area of fossil fuel conservation through high efficient design of product with minimum losses of power generated in vehicle Literature review indicates that 30 to 70 percentage mechanical frictional losses are observed in automotive products Researchers have put efforts to minimize such frictional losses through various experimental and theoretical model studies in the realm of tribological parameters friction, wear and lubrication. In fact tribology is an inter disciplinary science of inter acting surfaces under dynamic conditions A friction phenomenon is interpreted by different researchers in different ways but here surface geometry/ topography plays vital role The proposed research is for some theoretical model development to reduce the mechanical frictional loss at the same time holding onto a good amount of load Tribology includes all the aspects related to lubrication friction and wear Its aim is to solve the practical problems related to interacting surfaces in living systems in machines and to clarify the static and dynamic aspects of contacts example in the following fields all joints of the human body components and interacting surfaces used in satellites in transportation systems in almost every stage of manufacturing production in agriculture
