Running-in as an Engineering Optimization
Abstract: Running-in is a
process which can be found in daily lives. This phenomenon occurs after the
start of the contact between fresh solid surfaces, resulting in changes in the
surface topography, friction and wear. Before the contacting engineering solid
surfaces reach a steady-state operation situation this running-n enhances the contact
performance. Running-in is very complex and is a vast problem area. A lot of
variable occurs in the running-in process, physically, mechanically or
chemically. These transient phenomena should be optimized so that it is
beneficial. In this paper the global
analysis of running-in in term of engineering optimization is presented. Literature that reports of what have been
published about knowledge and ideas, on the running-in topic by accredited
scholars and researchers, are reviewed. The running-in model
which can predict the real engineering
surfaces in its operation is proposed.
