Stribeck Curve

[MolaKule]

Describe the Stribeck curve and its application to lubrication.

 

[garyb80]

The Stribeck Curve illustrates the relationship of the speed of moving/sliding parts and the hydrodynamic pressure of the lubricant between them.

I think she whispered speed and force.

Way to go Garyb80,

The Stribeck Curve is often used to determine friction beween two moving parts and to determine when the hydrodynamic film fails.

The Curve may used to bench test lubricants to determine time and point of hydrodynamic film failure.
