Abstract
Ventilation duct systems are indispensable for air purification and room temperature management in industrial and commercial buildings. The noise generated by blowers for ventilating spaces should be as low as possible. In addition, to power the wireless nodes for monitoring the ventilation conditions such as temperature and pressure at any positions in all the ducts, electric power is preferred to be generated in situ without batteries and wired power supply. In this study, to demonstrate simultaneous noise reduction and in situ power generation using a Helmholtz resonator with a piezoelectric diaphragm in a straight circular pipe duct, the frequency properties of the sound pressure level (SPL) with/without the piezoelectric diaphragm and its generated voltage were measured using an in-house apparatus simulating an industrial blower duct. The experimental results show that the Helmholtz resonator with the piezoelectric diaphragm has a noise reduction performance similar to that without the piezoelectric diaphragm. Power generation was improved not only by impedance matching between the inner and outer resistance but also by the frequency resonance between the frequency of pressure fluctuation in the Helmholtz resonator and the natural frequency of the piezoelectric diaphragm. The Helmholtz resonator with the piezoelectric diaphragm achieved a noise reduction of 10 dB from an SPL of 103 dB and power generation of 12 μW at an SPL of 93 dB.

To achieve both lowering the fluid leakage and lowering the friction loss in a reciprocating seal, the effect of coating a concentrated polymer brush (CPB) onto the rough surfaces of the reciprocating seal was examined using a homemade apparatus. The apparatus comprised a narrow gap of the reciprocating seal, which consisted of a ring and rod, and measured the leakage rate and friction coefficient. An ionic liquid, an alkane, and air were used; the ionic liquid was a good solvent for the CPB; the others were non-solvents for the CPB and immiscible fluids for the good solvent. The leakage rate measurements show that the swollen CPB by the good solvent prevents the fluid leakage even for the immiscible fluids and the rough surfaces of the reciprocating seal. In addition, the friction coefficient measurements show that the swollen CPB provides low friction under alkane lubrication even when the CPB is coated onto just one-side surface of the reciprocating seal.

Abstract
Adsorbed molecular films, referred to as boundary films in tribology, are widely used in various industrial products as a keyway for surface functionalisation, such as lubricity, wettability, and adhesion. Because boundary films are thin nanometre-scale molecular layers and can easily be removed, their formation process cannot be elucidated in detail. In this study, to analyse the growth dynamics of boundary films, the film thickness and molecular orientation of the boundary film of a fatty acid used as an additive in rolling contact as mechanical stimuli were measured in situ. The measurements were performed on simple test lubricants, which were composed of n-hexadecane and stearic acid, at rolling tribological condition between steel and glass (or sapphire) surfaces by ultrathin film interferometry combined with sum-frequency generation spectroscopy according to a unique protocol. The results quantitatively demonstrate shear-induced boundary film formation. The insight gained from these results is anticipated to enable the formulation of high-performance lubricant additives to further reduce friction loss and high-performance glues that can be freely designed for removability.

Abstract: Concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs) are promising soft-material coatings for improving tribological properties under severe sliding conditions, even in the macroscopic scale. Therefore, they are expected to be applied to mechanical sliding components. However, the durability of CPBs has remained challenging for industrial applications. Previous studies revealed that applying a groove texture to the CPB substrate is effective in improving the durability of CPBs. In order to achieve further improvement of durability of CPBs, we attempted to apply nano-periodic structures, whereas the groove texture applied in previous studies has widths and depths in micrometres. In this study, the effect of the nano-periodic structure in addition to the groove texture applied to the CPB substrate on the durability of CPB is investigated. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in the durability of CPBs by up to 90% compared with non-textured CPB when an appropriate nano-periodic structure is applied (i.e. a nano-periodic structure oriented parallel to the groove texture).

Ionic liquids have unique characteristics, which render them ideal candidates as new base oils or additives. In particular, there are great expectations from the combination of diamond-like carbon and cyano-based ionic liquids. Lubricating properties of cyano-based ionic liquids have been studied on specific tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films. After lubrication, ta-C film/ta-C film contact interface exhibits exceedingly low friction. Therefore, it is necessary to understand this low friction phenomenon. The current study evaluated the lubricating mechanism of cyano-based ionic liquids against ta-C films. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ((BMIM)(DCN)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethane ((BMIM)(TCC)) were used as lubricants, with the latter exhibiting low friction coefficient of 0.03. Steel cylinders and disks with ta-C films were used as test specimens. Raman spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) helped us understand the mechanism of low friction induced by (BMIM)(TCC). Graphitization of the ta-C film at high temperatures might have caused the reduction in friction between the films. Similarly, anion adsorption on the worn surface at high temperatures also led to reduced friction. However, the TGA result showed a different trend than that of the sliding test. Our results indicate that the cyano-based ionic liquids underwent tribo-decomposition at low temperatures. Further, a minimum temperature was required for the adsorption of anions onto the sliding surface.

Recently, concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs) have attracted much attention as potential tribomaterials showing an ultralow friction coefficient (e.g., 10(-4) in a microtribological analysis). In this study, a homemade apparatus modeling reciprocating seals was developed, which consisted of an inner steel rod and an outer steel ring with a narrow clearance less than several tens of micrometers. A few-micrometer-thick CPB film of poly(methyl methacrylate) well-swollen with an ionic liquid was prepared on each steel surface, and the impact of applying the CPB film to the clearance of reciprocating seals was examined by measuring the leakage rate of a fluid and the friction coefficient in reciprocating motion. The results showed that the CPB film narrowed the clearance between the two steel surfaces, which improved its sealing performance. In addition, the CPB film yielded a quite low friction coefficient (e.g., 10(-3)), which assured its smooth motion with small energy loss.

Concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs) are a class of thin polymer films that are composed of polymer chains densely grafted to substrate surfaces. Due to their excellent tribological performance derived from the highly stretched conformation of the polymer chains in suitable solvents, CPBs are expected to be applicable as tribological coatings in sliding components. However, a long swelling time is required to obtain fully swelled CPBs in solvents. To overcome this issue, we propose a simple method involving thermal treatment of CPBs in solvents. Our results showed that this method can dramatically reduce the swelling time of CPBs from more than 48 h to less than 3 min. Moreover, thermal-treatment-CPBs (TT-CPBs) can provide an extremely low friction coefficient (0.002) under the boundary lubrication regime at the TT-CPB/steel tribo-pair interface. All our results suggest that the thermal treatment method is a practical method that will allow the industrial application of CPBs.

The stability of a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) sliding system with the velocity-weakening friction was examined by the eigenvalue analysis, where the in-plane anisotropy and the in-plane asymmetry were considered. The obtained eigenvalues were organized by using the minimum modal damping ratio as the stability maps. Selecting a stable point in the stability map corresponds automatically to embedding the Yaw-Angle-Misalignment (YAM) method in the mechanical structure design to avoid the instability. If we accept the mechanical structure design of sliding systems with the in-plane anisotropy and the in-plane asymmetry, we can find new stable conditions spread widely in the two-dimensional space, which are invisible from the conventional point of view.

The wear acceleration mechanism of DLC films lubricated with MoDTC solution was investigated by using in-situ and ex-situ analytical techniques: Raman spectroscopy, XPS, ToF-SIMS and nano-indenter. Especially, to reveal the role of ZDDPs and ta-C films for inhibiting the wear acceleration, friction tests were carried out using a ball-on-disk setup at a-C:H/steel and ta-C/steel contacts lubricated with PAO, PAO + MoDTC and PAO + MoDTC + ZDDP. All our results suggest that the wear acceleration is caused by hard Mo-carbide containing tribofilms. Therefore, wear acceleration did not occur for the harder DLC, i.e., the ta-C films. Our results also suggest that ZDDPs play important roles in inhibiting the carburization of Mo-compounds involving DLC surfaces at the tribological contact.

In examining the lubricity of a nematic liquid crystal (4-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl [5CB]), synergy of 2 fatty acids (stearic acid [C18] and behenic acid [C22]) as additives was observed. In friction measurements using a ball-on-plate-type tribometer, the friction coefficient for the mixed-additive lubricant (5CB-C18-C22) was lower than those for the single-additive lubricants (5CB-C18 and 5CB-C22). This synergy mechanism was discussed with considering the results obtained in other tests: orientation observations in a stationary cell using polarising microscopy and surface topography measurements of adsorbed films using atomic force microscopy. As a result, it is believed that the microscopic patterned surface formed by the mixed additive strengthens the surface anchoring of 5CB, which leads to increase in the effective viscosity of 5CB and therefore to decrease in the macroscopic friction coefficient in the mixed lubrication regime.

A new concept was proposed as biomimetic tribological (BMT) system by using three-dimensional (3D) printing process. The BMT had a lubricant supply path (LSP) beneath the sliding surface. The tribological properties could be actively controlled by directly supplying lubricant additives (anti-wear additive and friction modifier) alone to the sliding surface through the LSP during a friction process. To confirm the effectiveness of the LSP surface, for improving the tribological performance, under boundary lubrication, friction tests were conducted on a plate specimen with a lubricant supply path that was manufactured by a 3D metal printer. Experimental results suggest that the LSP surface system was more effective for friction reduction than a conventional system, and it offered an effective way to actively control the tribological performance under boundary lubrication.

In order to examine the feasibility of power generation by using friction-induced vibration with a piezoelectric element, we performed experiments and numerical analysis. In the experiments, the generated power in the piezoelectric element and the displacement of an oscillator were measured by a newly developed apparatus that embodied a single-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) system with friction. In the numerical analysis, an analytical model of a 1-DOF system with friction and piezoelectric element was proposed to simulate the experiments. The experimental results demonstrated that the power of a few microwatts was generated by sliding between a steel ball and a steel plate lubricated with glycerol. In this study, a maximum power of approximately 10 mu W was generated at a driving velocity of 40 mm s(-1) and a normal load of 15 N. The numerical results demonstrated good qualitative agreement with the experimental results. This implies that this analytical model can be applied to optimize the oscillator design in piezoelectric power generation using friction-induced vibration.

In this research, we focus on the improvement of frictional performance of piston ring achieved by Laser Surface Texturing. Five kinds of samples (non-texture, dimple 100μm, dimple120μm, groove 45 degrees to sliding direction and groove 90 degrees to sliding direction) were tested under reciprocating sliding condition. The results showed that the sample of groove 90 degrees to sliding condition has the maximum decrease on either average friction coefficient (26%) or friction coefficient at end points of stock (33%). And we think that under boundary lubrication regime, the uniformity of distribution of the texture and flow of oil in contact surface are the key factors which affect the friction coefficient.

The effects of the molecular structure of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) on the tribological properties of a hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) film under boundary lubrication were investigated. Friction tests were performed at a-C:H/a-C:H and steel/steel contacts under lubrication with poly-alpha olefin (PAO) and PAO containing five types of ZDDPs with different alkyl groups (primary-C4 ZDDP, secondary-C4 ZDDP, primary-C6 ZDDP, primary-C8 ZDDP and primary-C12 ZDDP). All our results suggest that the structure of the alkyl chain of ZDDPs strongly influence the tribological properties of the a-C:H/a-C:H and steel/steel tribopairs lubricated with ZDDP solutions.

Copyright © 2017 Japanese Society of Tribologists The graphitization process of a tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) film under lubrication was investigated using a laboratory-built in situ Raman tribometer. The coating was lubricated with poly-alpha-olefin (PAO), PAO with an added friction modifier (FM), glycerol mono-oleate (GMO). Friction tests were carried out using a ball-on-disk setup, in which a 19-mm diameter ta-C-coated ball was loaded and rubbed against a steel disk that was immersed in a lubricant solution. In situ optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the graphitization process and wear tracks of the ta-C-coated ball. Raman analysis was conducted on the rubbed surface of the rotating ta-C-coated ball when it was located under an objective lens every three minutes during sliding. In this study, the degree of graphitization of the ta-C surface was estimated by calculating the intensity ratio of the D-peak and G-peak (ID/IG) in the Raman spectra of the ta-C film during friction tests with different lubricants. All our results suggest that the friction modifier inhibits the progression of graphitization of DLC films by reducing friction, in other words, reducing the contact temperature, and the wear progression of DLC films under boundary lubrication can be induced by graphitization of DLC surfaces at the sliding contact.

Tribology Online, 巻：12, 号：5, 開始ページ：257, 終了ページ：261, 2017年, ［査読有り］In this work, the influence of ink composition on the tribological properties of ballpoint pens has been examined with a view to improve writing smoothness and pen lifetime. Friction experiments were performed using a ball on plate tribometer in order to simulate the sliding contact of a ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pen ink is composed of various solvents, resins, friction modifiers, colorants. To determine the basic tribological properties of ballpoint pen ink, this study focuses on the investigating the influence of different ink compositions: solvents, resins, and phosphate on the tribological behavior. The worn surfaces of specimens from tribological tests using different ink compositions were analyzed by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Tribological tests were performed on eight different lubricant compositions including: i) the solvents without additives ii) the solvents with the resins and iii) the solvents with the friction modifiers. The results showed that for Oil A the tribological properties were affected by the molecular weight of the resin and the addition of phosphate reduced the coefficients of friction. Similar results were not observed for Oil B. In addition, it was found that the ratio of the components of the base oil affects the tribological properties of ballpoint pen ink.

Chemical interactions and formation of adsorbed films of additives strongly affect the tribological behavior in boundary lubrication. In order to examine the relationship between the adsorption behavior and friction properties of fatty acids, polarization observations using a liquid crystal and friction measurements were performed. A nematic liquid crystal [4-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB)] and normal fatty acids with 16-22 C chains were base fluid and additive, respectively. The adsorption behavior of the fatty acids was observed using polarization microscopy and analyzing the optical anisotropy of 5CB. The adsorbed film of fatty acids induced a change in the orientation of 5CB from planar to homeotropic. The expansion speed of the homeotropic domain increased as the chain length of the fatty acid decreased. The friction coefficient of the test lubricants was measured in a steel-steel sliding contact using a low-speed reciprocating tribometer. At the first cycle of reciprocating sliding motion, the lower friction coefficient was measured using fatty acids with the shorter alkyl chain length. The friction coefficient at the first cycle showed a strong correlation with the expansion speed of the homeotropic domain. These results show that the shorter-chain fatty acids form an adsorbed film highly oriented perpendicular to the solid surface, and the adsorbed film provides a lower friction coefficient at the first cycle.

Effects of the structure of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) on the tribological properties of a tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) film were investigated. Friction tests were performed at diamond-like carbon (DLC)/DLC and steel/steel contacts under lubrication with poly-alpha olefin (PAO) and PAO containing six types of ZDDPs with different alkyl groups. The tribological properties of the ta-C film depended on the chemical composition of ZDDP-derived tribofilms on the outermost surface, which depended on the abundance ratio of neutral-ZDDP and basic-ZDDP in the ZDDP solution. Thus, the ZDDP forms play important roles in the tribological properties of the ta-C film. All these results suggest that the ZDDP forms can determine the tribological properties of the ta-C film lubricated with the ZDDP solution.

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. The effects of the concentration of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) on the tribological properties of a tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) film in the presence of organic friction modifiers (FMs) were investigated. Friction tests were conducted under lubrication with poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) and PAO containing glycerol-mono-oleate (GMO), tallow-diethanol-amine (TDEA), ZDDP, GMO+ZDDP, and TDEA+ZDDP. For PAO+GMO+ZDDP, the friction coefficients increased as the concentration of ZDDP increased. For PAO+TDEA+ZDDP, the ultralow friction was observed at the ta-C/ta-C contact regardless of the concentration of ZDDP. Surface analyses demonstrated the combination of TDEA and ZDDP promoting the formation of sulfur-rich tribofilms, which play important roles in the low friction of the ta-C film.

The friction and wear properties of low-carbon steel and conventional carbon steel were investigated through sliding tests, hardness measurements, and microstructure observations. An understanding of these properties is essential to facilitate the application of low-carbon weld steel doped with minor and trace elements to tribological products.The results of the sliding tests showed that the initial wear of the minor and trace element-doped low-carbon steel was higher than that of conventional carbon steel. The results of the hardness measurements showed that conventional steel hardened faster than the minor and trace element-doped steel. The microstructure observations showed that the grain size of conventional steel decreased after the sliding test was performed. Hence, it was suggested that the change in the grain size of conventional steel promoted hardening. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

© Copyright 2016 Japanese Society of Tribologists. The tribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films that were lubricated with an environmentally friendly ester-based oil were investigated. Sliding tests were performed on two types of DLC films, hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films, using a steel cylinder that was in contact with a steel disk coated with either a-C:H or ta-C under boundary lubrication. To compare the tribological properties of ester-based oils and other based oils, Trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester, polypropylene glycol (PPG), and poly-alpha olefin (PAO) were used as the test lubricants. The ta-C film that was lubricated with TMP ester exhibited the ultralow friction coefficient of 0.015; however, the a-C:H film that was lubricated with TMP ester did not exhibit the ultralow friction. On the other hand, results obtained by a quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation indicated that the adsorption properties of based oils depended on the type of sensor material (carbon or iron) and the type of based oil used in the measurements. Moreover, the frequency change of based oils increased with decreases in the average frictional coefficients of the steel-steel tribopair and the DLC-steel tribopair. Results of surface analysis indicated that TMP ester formed tribofilms on the ta-C surfaces, which exhibited high viscosity and low friction. All these results suggest that the combination of the ta-C film and TMP ester is the new ultra-low-friction and environmentally friendly sliding system.

Surfaces with different topographies are formed by the various types of manufacturing processes. To express the characteristics of these surfaces, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines two-dimensional (2-D) surface roughness parameters, which are used for geometrical product specification (GPS). 2-D surface roughness parameters are widely used in engineering fields. In contrast, 3-D surface roughness parameters have been standardized with the development of measurement technologies. In the field of tribology, the relationship between the surface roughness parameters and tribological characteristics has been extensively studied. However, surface roughness parameters for the expression of tribological characteristics have not yet been reported. In this research, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method was applied to evaluate the periodicity of sliding surfaces. Using the 2-D FFT method, the 2-D power spectral density (PSD) was obtained for actual surfaces. The relationships between the 2-D PSDs and the friction characteristics of anisotropic surfaces were examined. From these results, it was determined that all the data from the 2-D PSD are required to determine the optimal direction of sliding. A new 3-D surface roughness parameter to express these relationships was proposed. It was shown that this parameter is able to determine the sliding angle where the lowest or highest friction coefficients are attained for common industrial surfaces. This parameter could be used in the design of sliding surfaces as a GPS parameter to express friction characteristics.

Carbon-carbon (C/C) composites are widely used as sliding materials owing to their excellent mechanical properties. However, it is well known that the C/C composites exhibit an unstable frictional behavior called the friction transition, the main mechanism of which remains unclear. In this study we focused on the mechanism of the friction transition by examining the morphology of wear debris obtained using a thrust-cylinder-type tribotester. Moreover, to improve the tribological properties of C/C composites, we discussed the effect of surface texturing. The sliding results suggested that agglomeration of wear debris caused the friction transition. Furthermore, the friction transition was prevented by the effects of surface texturing.

Copyright © 2016 Japanese Society of Tribologists. Correlation between nano-mechanical and macro-tribological properties of the tribofilm derived from phosphoric additives was investigated. Macro friction test was performed at steel/steel contact under lubrication with poly-alpha olefin (PAO) containing these types of phosphoric additives; tricresyl phosphate (TCP), diphenyl phosphate (DPP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP). The nano-mechanical properties (viscoelasticity, adhesion, hardness, friction coefficient, and effective elastic modulus) of the tribofilms were evaluated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation tester. From the results of friction tests and surface analysis, the macro-tribological properties depended on the nano-mechanical properties of tribofilms derived from phosphoric additives under the boundary lubrication. In particular, the thick viscous tribofilm derived from the phosphoric additive exhibited the low friction phenomena. It was suggested that the nano-mechanical properties of tribofilms were the important factors governing the macro-tribological properties under the boundary lubrication.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films provide low friction and high wear resistance under lubricated conditions. In particular, tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) film has shown ultralow friction behavior under boundary lubrication with an organic friction modifier (FM), such as glycerol mono-oleate (GMO). On the other hand, there are many studies on the tribological properties of DLC films that are lubricated with oils with added zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). ZDDP, however, shows quite different tribological performance, which depends on the type of DLC film. The lubrication mechanism of ZDDP against DLC films has not yet been fully clarified. This research studied the effects of ZDDP additives on the tribological properties of a ta-C film under boundary lubrication with oils that contained organic friction modifiers. The tribological properties were evaluated using the reciprocating type cylinder-on-disk tribo-tester. ZDDP and three types of organic additives (GMO, glycerol mono-oleoyl ether (GME), and tallow diethanol amine (TDEA)) were added to poly-alpha olefin (PAO). Friction tests were carried out for the DLC/DLC tribo-pair under lubrication with PAO and PAO-based oils containing GMO, GME, TDEA, ZDDP, GMO+ZDDP, GME+ZDDP, and TDEA+ZDDP additives. Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used for analyses of the ta-C surface after the friction tests. The ta-C film lubricated with PAO+FMs reached an ultralow friction coefficient of 0.02-0.03. On the other hand, the films with PAO+GMO+ZDDP and PAO+GME+ZDDP had increased friction coefficients and wear volumes compared to the PAO+FMs oils. The ta-C film lubricated with PAO+TDEA+ZDDP reached an ultralow friction coefficient of 0.028. The surface analyses demonstrated that the formation rate and chemical composition of the ZDDP-derived tribofilm depended on the combination of ZDDP and each FM. It was concluded that the formation rate and chemical composition of the ZDDP-derived tribofilm played an important role in the low friction behavior of the ta-C films that were lubricated with any of the oils with added ZDDP.

To understand the effects of tribo-film formation derived from ZnDTP (zinc dialkyl ditio phosphate) on friction behavior, friction tests were carried out with varying sliding time. The sliding surfaces were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). On the basis of the surface analytical results of the tribo-film, the absorption bands in the region of 1300-1000 cm-1 assigned as polyphosphate appeared in all IR spectra after the sliding. The friction behavior of ZnDTP was related to the intensity change of the IR spectra peak at 1200 cm-1.

Copyright © 2015 Japanese Society of Tribologists. The tribological behavior of diamond-like carbon films (DLC) is strongly dependent on the hydrogen content, sp2/sp3 ratio, and sliding environment. Some hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) exhibit superlow friction in hydrogen conditions. However, previous works have not clarified the dominant factors of the superlow friction phenomena of DLC films. In this research, we focused on the effects of hydrogen derived from the surrounding atmosphere and the hydrogen within the DLC films on superlow friction phenomena. To investigate these effects, friction tests were conducted on three DLC films having different hydrogen contents (0, and 18, 30 at%) in the air and in low-pressure-hydrogen conditions at various hydrogen pressures. After the friction tests, the wear tracks were examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, elastic recoil detection (ERDA) analysis, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The hydrogen derived from the surrounding atmosphere and the formation of the hydrogen-rich tribofilm were key factors for the superlow friction phenomena.

In the present study, we apply an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element method, which can rationally solve the interaction behavior between the fluid flow and the nonlinear solid deformation, to the simulation of indentation process of lubricated elastoplastic plates by the ball collision. As have been reported by numerous experimental works, it is also shown by the present numerical approach that the characteristic of lubricant affects indentation profiles. For instance, the indentation profile represents the conical shape due to viscous property of lubricant, while the profile represents the bowl-type shape under the dry condition. Based on the systematic numerical investigation, it is confirmed in the case of lubricated condition that the indentation is formed through the pressure of a fluid. Then, a squeeze effect of viscous flow and a shut-up of lubricant, which is caused by velocity of lateral flow, are observed. Furthermore, it is understood that the conical shape of indentation profile is formed at an initial contact stage, and then its size similarly grow up during loading. Thus, it is confirmed that the ALE finite element method is one of effective methods for the examination of impact problems on lubricated surfaces.

In sliding friction of elastomers, the effective static friction coefficient μseff observed is not necessarily equal to the inherent real one μs possessed by the material; usually μseff < μs because of the elastic deformations of sliding objects and the propagation of shear fracture in the contact area. This indicates that focusing on elastic deformation of sliding objects can derive a new criterion of μseff for machine design. In this study, mainly through numerical simulations for a physical model assured by experiments in which measuring frictional force and observing contact area were carried out for a longitudinal line contact of polymethyl methacrylate, it is found that the stiffness ratio κ = Kbtot / Kctot (where Kbtot and Kctot are the total bulk stiffness and total tangential contact stiffness of the elastic sliding object, respectively) dominates the value of μseff.

To measure true values of kinetic friction coefficient in a force balance between the frictional force and spring force, an anti-vibration tribometer (AVT) has been developed. The AVT utilizes a novel principle that an angular misalignment between the two velocities (i.e., the driving velocity of one of contact surfaces and the moving velocity of the other surface) produces a positive damping effect to stabilize the equilibrium point and suppress frictional vibration autonomously. For example, when a sliding contact between a steel ball and a steel plate is lubricated by glycerin, the AVT provides a force balance situation at a misalignment angle φ = 30° (i.e., an anti-vibration setting), although strong frictional vibration occurs at φ = 0° (i.e., a conventional setting). By comparing the kinetic friction coefficients obtained at φ = 0° and 30°, it has been found that frictional vibration can lead to a serious error of measuring kinetic friction coefficient (e.g., a 35% underestimation at a low driving speed).

Sealing devices are needed to prevent dust and water invading the positioning mechanisms of outdoor equipment. The frictional resistance generated by the seal frequently obstructs the smooth motion of the mechanism. The friction properties for high-speed and precision control mechanisms are required to be low and stable without lowering the sealing performance. In this study, the influence of the surface conditions of seal gland for PTFE sliding seal on friction properties was investigated experimentally. As a result, it has been found that the suitable surface condition of the seal gland for a high-speed and precision control mechanism is the electroless-nickel-plated surface of 0.1 μm Ra

機械システムの可動部では摩擦損失を低減させるために潤滑油が用いられている。潤滑油は、主成分である基油と極微少量（0.1%程度）の添加剤から成る。潤滑油が摩擦損失を低減させるのは、摩擦面に潤滑膜を形成させて金属同士の接触を妨げるためである。潤滑膜には、基油が流体力学的に作用して形成させる流体膜と、添加剤が金属表面に優先的に吸着して自発的に形成させる自己組織化膜がある。また、自己組織化膜には、添加剤分子がそのまま吸着して形成される吸着膜と、添加剤分子が化学反応して形成される反応膜とがある。本研究では、異なる2種類の添加剤を用いることで反応膜と吸着膜からなる複合ナノテクスチャを自律的に形成させ、低速度・高荷重下においても低摩擦性を維持可能な潤滑システムの創成を目的としている。
研究初年度である本年度では、当初の計画の通り、高温（100 ℃）下において摩擦係数および膜厚分布を計測可能な摩擦試験環境を整えた。摩擦試験は、鋼球とガラス平板を用い、高接触面圧力となる点接触の摩擦形態を採用した。潤滑膜の膜厚分布は光干渉法を利用して計測しており、具体的には鋼球とガラス平板を純転がりにて転がり接触させて、連続的に膜厚プロファイルを取得することで、膜厚の高精度かつ空間分布としての計測を可能とした。本年度の後半では、反応膜を形成させるモデル添加剤としてZnDTP（ジアルキルジチオリン酸亜鉛）を、基油としてヘキサデカンを用いて、反応膜の形成過程を調べた。その結果、純転がりの転がり接触では周囲温度によらず反応膜を形成させないこと、高温かつ滑り摩擦下において反応膜の形成が開始されることを明らかにした。

本研究では、潤滑油の添加剤により形成されるnmオーダーの凹凸（自己組織化ナノテクスチャ）による低摩擦な潤滑システムの創成を目的とした。自己組織化ナノテクスチャの形成過程を調査するために、転がり接触下で高精度に膜厚分布が計測可能な計測システムを開発した。本計測システムは、0.1 nmの分解能で潤滑膜厚を空間分布として計測できる。本計測システムを用いて、油性添加剤の直鎖脂肪酸を対象として調査した結果、単成分の添加剤の使用でもnmオーダーの潤滑膜が島状に形成されること、2成分系の潤滑油では島状の凹凸がより細かく形成されることを明らかにした。
