Film Thickness and Shape Evaluation in a Cam-Follower Line Contact with Digital Image Processing

Film thickness is the most important parameter of a lubricated contact. Its evaluation in a cam-follower contact is not easy due to the continuous variations of speed, load and geometry during the camshaft rotation. In this work, experimental apparatus with a system for film thickness and shape esti...
