DESIGN OF POLYMER MULTILAYER TRIBOLOGICAL UNITS SUBJECTED TO VARIABLE RADIAL LOADS IN TERMS OF FORCE AND CONTACT AREA
The paper presents the results of a computational and experimental study of a sliding bearing unit operating under high dynamic and radial loads as part of a compact roller test bench for heavy-duty vehicles weighing up to 20 t. A shaft and roller design based on a multilayer composite-metal structure has been develope...
