Wear Evolution and Reliability Assessment of Bottom-Pivot Friction Pairs in Miter Gates
The bottom pivot of a miter gate operates underwater under low-speed, heavy-load, and reciprocating-sliding conditions, where lubrication deterioration can accelerate local wear and increase operating resistance. Conventional hinge-based models cannot describe the transient contact and wear behavior of this component....
