Abstract
Green tribology plays important role in the field of saving energy and development of sustainable material. The coefficient of friction and wear of the material at the interface of two mating surfaces exists according to the application methodology. The effective lubrication at the interfaces of materials having relative motion reduce friction and wear and impart major role in achieving energy saving, increase of operational life of material. Thus, the emerging trend is to design interface profile to achieve better and efficient surface. The mathematical model has been employed for the analysis of performance parameters at the lubricated interface developed between plain surface and another had either exponential or cubical face profile. The result of the performance parameters has been numerically investigated and discussed. Based on the numerical analysis, it was observed that exponential face profile has proved much energy efficient than cubical face profile Thus, exponential face profile has better Tribological performance than cubical face profile.
