Characterisation of Friction and Lubrication Regimes in Premium Tubular Connections
نویسندگان
چکیده
A friction test rig has been developed to carry out repeated sliding friction tests for premium tubular connections. The test rig enables accurate measurement of friction in various contact regimes which are relevant to the threaded connections between tubular components. Higher load tests can simulate the contact in metal-to-metal seals under very high contact pressures by using perpendicular pin-on-pin tests. The contact in the thread loading flank under intermediate pressures can be simulated by using larger radius coupon-on-coupon tests. The measured coefficient of friction is well correlated with a lubrication parameter combining lubricant film thickness and initial surface roughness.

A Simplified Model of Surface Burnishing and Friction in Repeated Make-up Process of Premium Tubular Connections
We develop a simplified model to predict the frictional behaviour of the contact between the surfaces of a rotary shouldered thread connection in the make-up process of premium tubular connections as used in the oil pipeline business. A classic wear model is applied at the scale of the surface asperities to predict the evolution of friction between initially shot-peened surface and bronze plate...

The aim of this study is to examine the equity premium puzzle in Iran for the quarterly period of 1993-2016. In this regard, the hybrid bivariate Garch model and also fuzzy dummy variables with consumption capital asset pricing model (C-CAPM) have been used. The results of study show that using C-CAPM within fuzzy dummy variables (CCAPM-F), the relative risk aversion coefficient of investor is ...
متن کاملRole of Surface Texture on Friction and Wear under Boundary Lubricated Conditions
Ensuring effective lubrication between sliding surfaces is one of the challenges in the field of tribology. In addition to the conventional parameters like speed, load, contact geometry and material parameters, the surface texture also influences the coefficient of friction. In the present investigation, the effect of surface texture on coefficient of friction under boundary lubricated conditio...
متن کاملAn experimental model for mixed friction during running-in
Mechanical engineering often uses fluid lubrication to limit friction. Even in the presence of a lubricant, metallic contact between the sliding surfaces may readily occur. In running-in, the oil film thickness can be so thin that contact arises at the summit of asperities, thus, increasing both the friction coefficient and wear. Such regimes are the so-called mixed or boundary lubrication. In ...
متن کاملMicroscopic mechanism for the shear-thickening of non-Brownian suspensions
We propose a simple model, supported by contact-dynamics simulations as well as rheology and friction measurements, that links the transition from continuous to discontinuous shear-thickening in dense granular pastes to distinct lubrication regimes in the particle contacts. We identify a local Sommerfeld number that determines the transition from Newtonian to shear-thickening flows, and then sh...
