  1. High-Pressure Viscosity Measurements of Traction Oils up to 2 GPa at up to 200 Ž [in Japanese], Yuichi NAKAMURA, Kazuyuki SANDA* and Hideki MATSUBO*: Journal of Japan Society of Tribologists, 50-4 pp. 354-359, 2005

    High-pressure viscosity was measured for synthetic traction oils including a CVT oil up to 2 GPa at elevated temperature up to 200 Ž employing a falling sphere method in a diamond-anvil pressure cell (DAC) with appropriate heating system. The obtained results almost showed the linearity between logarithmic viscosity and pressure at all temperature (40Ž`200Ž) with some data scattering. The accuracy of this high pressure viscometry was confirmed with the existing data at low pressure. Viscosity-pressure coefficient ƒΏ decreased to 1/3`1/4 at 200Ž of that at 40Ž. Simple experimental expression of temperature depending ƒΏ was suggested referring to Eyring viscosity formula. Pressure temperature phase diagrams of liquid-solid transition were plotted from the obtained high pressure viscosity, which predict traction feature.

  2. Micro-Rheometry of Pressurized Lubricants and Micro-Nanorheology, Yuichi NAKAMURA, Yasushi KUROSAKI: Microsystem Technologies, Special Issue: JSME-IIP/ASME-ISPS Joint Conference 2003 Yokohama, 11, pp. 1127-1131, 2005

    In the present study, micro-rheometry of pressurized lubricants employing a diamond-anvil pressure cell and a laser confocal displacement sensor of 0.4ƒΚm resolution was shown. High pressure viscosity was obtained up to 2 GPa at 200 Ž for traction oils and PFPE oils. Viscosity-pressure coefficient ƒΏ at room temperature was almost twice larger than that at 100 Ž. ƒΏfor hard disk oil, Zdol2000, was 13 /GPa at 24 Ž ` 5 /GPa at 150 Ž and was similar to that of paraffinic mineral oil. The feature of the obtained high pressure volume was different for each oil up to 6 GPa. Zdol2000 was the most compressible of all the sample lubricants and its high pressure refractive index increased about 10 % at 4.8 GPa. Zdol2000 remained transparent up to 4.8 GPa under isothermal loading. Some considerations for lubricant's micro-nanorheology were also mentioned with high pressure lubricant's rheology.

  3. Evaluation of Quasi-Static Density and Elastic Modulus for Pressurized Lubricant Oils up to 5 GPa Considering Volume Viscoelasticity, Yuichi NAKAMURA, Yasushi KUROSAKI and Nobuyoshi OHNO*: Book of Synopses International Tribology Conference Kobe 2005, pp. 171, 2005

    Quasi-static pressure-dependence equations of density and elastic modulus for lubricant oils were derived up to 5 GPa based on the experimental data from both quasi-static pressure vessel apparatus up to 1.2 GPa and dynamic sound velocity data by Brillouin light scattering measurements up to 5 GPa. Dynamic data were analyzed by applying a viscoelastic model for volume change and quasi-static data were obtained. Examined lubricant oils were 3 naphthenic oils such as traction oils, 5P4E (five-ring polyphenyl ether) and DOS (dioctylsebacate). Lubricant oils whose solidified pressure is lower than 1 GPa were resulted to show almost the same pressure-dependence characteristics of density and bulk modulus over solidified pressure. Temperature-dependence of these equations found out to be small up to 155 Ž.

  4. Plastic Deformations of Micro-spheres by Solidified Lubricants and Lubricants' Shear Stress under Very High Pressure, Yuichi NAKAMURA, Masanori SHIMAOKA, Yutaka ISHIBASHI* and Masahito MATSUI: Proceedings of WTC2005 World Triborogy congress III, CD, 63099, 2005

    In order to grasp the possibility of evaluating shear properties for solidified lubricants under high pressure, plastic deformations of metal micro-spheres (about 0.07mm) in solidified lubricants were evaluated by employing a diamond- anvil pressure cell (DAC). Large deformations (2-5 times larger than the original sphere dimensions) were observed for CVT oil and ester oil up to 6 GPa at 23-25Ž. Deformation starting pressure agreed with the solidified pressure. These deformations were caused by the non-hydrostatic pressure in the solidified lubricants. Shear stresses of the solidified lubricants were tentatively and roughly estimated from the plastic deformations of the spheres based on some assumptions. They almost agreed with the mean shear stress (traction force / hertzian contact area) from traction test.

  5. High-Pressure Viscometry and Dilatometry for Lubricant Oils in a Diamond Anvil Cell Up to 6 GPa, Yuichi NAKAMURA, Kazuyuki SANDA* and Hideki MATSUBO*: Proceedings of WTC2005 World Triborogy congress III, CD, 63100, 2005

    To measure the properties of lubricant under high pressure, a diamond?anvil pressure cell was employed. With a falling sphere viscometry, viscosities were measured up to 2 GPa at up to 200 Ž for traction oils. The results showed linearity between logarithmic viscosity and pressure at any temperatures. At 200Ž, lubricant viscosity-pressure coefficient fell to between 1/4 and 1/3rd of the value at 40Ž. A simple expression for the dependence of high pressure viscosity on temperature has been suggested. Pressure temperature phase diagram of liquid?solid transition was plotted from the obtained viscosity. The change in volume due to solidification was estimated up to 6 GPa.
