1 STRIBECK AND LAMBDA CURVES
General considerations
Friction related problems are very important for engineering systems, in particular for a good design as regards elements life and energy savings.
Friction losses can be measured directly on real machines, but a preliminary tribological research, experimental and/or theoretical, can be very useful for time and costs reduction.
One of the most required data for design is the friction coefficient, also employed in simulation programmes useful to reduce the number of experimental tests.
Unfortunately it is not always easy to find a realistic friction coefficient because there is a large number of variables (such as lubricant, velocity, load, geometry, roughness and materials) influencing its value.
FRICTION AND LUBRICATION REGIMES 5/40
1 STRIBECK AND LAMBDA CURVES
Lubrication regimes
The evolution of the friction coefficient is especially influenced by the parts of load supported by the lubricant and by the surface asperities of the solids, essentially depending on load, speed and lubricant viscosity values.
Three different lubrication regimes, ranging from fluid-film to boundary, are usually considered:
fluid-film (or full fluid) lubrication mixed lubrication boundary lubrication
Useful ways to represent the evolutions of the friction coefficient f, evidencing the transition between the different lubrication regimes, are the so-called “Stribeck curves” and “lambda () curves”.

Altezza adimensionale del meato
1 STRIBECK AND LAMBDA CURVES
Per avere bassi attrito e usura è importante che la coppia funzioni in regime di lubrificazione completa. Questo si verifica per un’altezza del meato sufficientemente grande rispetto alla rugosità superficiale.
Ai fini dell’efficacia della lubrificazione è pertanto più significativa un’altezza adimensionale del meato, indicata spesso con , funzione dello spessore del meato h e delle rugosità quadratiche medie delle superfici dei corpi a contatto, Rq1 e Rq2.
Il valore di per cui si ha il cambio di regime dipende dal tipo di accoppiamento lubrificato.
Valori indicativi sono comunque:
< 0.1 ÷ 1 lubrificazione limite
1 2 ÷ 5 lubrificazione mista
> 5 lubrificazione completa

5 CONCLUSIONS
Final remarks
The evolutions of the friction coefficient, in particular for nonconformal contacts, can be very different from the one of the typical Stribeck or diagram. Many variables such as shape and dimension of the lubricated contact, roughness, materials, characteristics of the lubricant and thermal effects influence the friction trends.
Many lubricated pairs of the most common machines do not work under steady-state but under transient conditions. Stationary results can be extended to real conditions only with a certain degree of approximation.
Investigation under transient conditions show the presence of a loop on the Stribeck diagram.
