Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gear transmission systems are widely used in all aspects of industrial equipment. The working performance of gears directly determines the working performance of most mechanical equipment. The long-term continuous friction between the tooth surfaces makes wear failure often become one of the main reasons for restricting gear life. It directly affects the transmission efficiency, stability, and reliability of the gear transmission system. Exploring advanced technologies to reduce gear friction and improve transmission efficiency has become a significant issue of universal concern in the industry and academia.
Over the past century, meaningful progress has been made in the theory of tooth contact states and the wear behavior characterization of gears during friction. However, the factors affecting the friction and wear of gears are many and complex, and in many cases, several factors are coupled to cause failure. It is difficult to accurately describe the friction behavior of gears based on a single mechanism. In addition, many studies have focused on improving the treatment process of gear materials and lubricating oil additive technology, which can effectively reduce friction.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the world's leading scientists who are curious and passionate about the advanced technology of gear friction in the fields of tribology, mechanical transmission system design, and materials. We aim to promote an “Integration” of knowledge in these fields, generate more creative inspiration, and deepen our understanding of the tribology of gear transmission systems. All scientists engaged in tribology, mechanical design, and materials-related fields are welcome to contribute.
