Hydrodynamic lubrication of textured surfaces: A review of modeling techniques and key findings (2016, background): “Less than a third of all publications were based on experimental approaches only, of which the most commonly used are pin-on-disc [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] and ball-on-disc [32] setups as well as reciprocating sliding tests [33].”
Combined friction and wear reduction in a reciprocating contact through laser surface texturing (2016, background): “It is under this regime that surface texture is most beneficial in terms of reducing friction, as proven by numerous experiments [14,16,17,45].”
Synergetic effects of surface texturing and solid lubricants to tailor friction and wear – A review (2021, methodology): “Boosted by the work of Etsion and co-workers in the 90’s [16, 22, 23], surface textures have been shown capable of beneficially affecting friction and wear under dry friction conditions [24, 25] as well as boundary [26-29], mixed [30-33], elastohydrodyamic (EHL) [34-36] and full-film hydrodynamic lu”
