Dynamic analysis of different sliding bearing materials

F’r Lc t i on , .• nd wear of materials are considered to be themost Lmpo rt.ant; problems which affect largely machine life andpe rf onnance uno.e r different operating conditions . An impo-rtant case 1.;0, realized when the mating parts are operatingunder the CUI tU i. Lion of dry friction. The use of non - metallicmaterials lItalk i. t possible to overcome many of the drawbacksof the contact interaction of materials in relative motionunder this c.rnd i t i on ,The ob j e c t Lve of this work is the study of friction andwear of di t i e r en t materials, metallic ,g non - metallic whichcan be used nS rubbing members in sliding bearing.A d e t.a i led pa r ame t r i c study is made to demonstrate theeff eet or lIIU:’; L ope ra Ling pa r ame t e r sspeed and s I Ld inq distance on the friction behaviour ofdifferent sliuil 9 materials. It is also intended to illus-trate the trend of variation ~f friction and wear of bothmetallic and non - metallic materials with these parameters.This in conaquerrce gives a comprehenseve comparison betweenthem .
