Y. Nakamura et al., EVALUATION OF SOUND-VELOCITY AND DENSITY OF LUBRICANTS UNDER HIGH-PRESSURE BY BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING USING DIAMOND-ANVIL CELL, JSME international journal. Series C, dynamics, control, robotics, design and manufacturing, 38(1), 1995, pp. 122-127
A Brillouin scattering optical system using a Fabry-Perot interferomet
er and a diamond-anvil cell was designed and set up for the evaluation
of the mechanical properties of lubricants under high pressure in ela
stohydrodynamic lubrication of ball bearings, gears and traction drive
s. Brillouin scattering spectra for alcohols, hydrocarbons, and synthe
tic lubricants were measured, and sound velocity and density under hig
h pressure were obtained. The density was compared with Dowson and Hig
ginson's density-pressure equation of lubricants, and density-pressure
characteristics of paraffinic oils and naphthenic oils were described
considering the molecular structure of solidified lubricants.
