Aspects of Self-Organization of Tribological Stressed Lubricating Greases

Abstract: Lubricating greases are markedly visco-elastic materials. Stressed by a friction process, this special material shows a drop of a measured shear stress or viscosity. This typical behaviour is observed in a number of papers and, therefore, is well known. Some different explanations can be found but most of them describe a structural degradation caused by the friction process. This paper attempts to elucidate the conditions that promote that structural change and understand this behaviour as an intrinsic respons… Show more

“…This seems explainable against the background that the bonds in the agglomerate are of a physical nature and during shearing the entire grease (base oil + thickener) is stressed. A more detailed investigation in [18] provided conditions for the initiation of instability. Several dissipation mechanisms were considered and, among others, a criterion with ∂γ critic ∂ϵ < 0 and ∂F f ∂ϵ > 0 (5) was found.…”
