The chemical reaction pathways which determine lubricant degradation during the later stages of lubricant deterioration will be followed by analytical techniques. These reactions include oxidation, polymerization, and sludge formation. The results will be linked together in a mathematical model which can predict lubricant deterioration as it is determined by operational and environmental parameters. An attempt will be made to also include actual lubricant performance data in the model, in the hope that actual performance of tribosystems can then be predicted. The knowledge developed in this study can serve as basis for lubricant design and development for severe applications.

在润滑剂变质的后期阶段，决定润滑剂降解的化学反应途径将采用分析技术。这些反应包括氧化、聚合和污泥形成。结果将在一个数学模型中联系在一起，该模型可以预测润滑剂的劣化，因为它是由操作和环境参数决定的。我们还将尝试在模型中加入实际润滑油性能数据，以期能够预测摩擦系统的实际性能。在本研究中发展的知识可以为苛刻应用的润滑剂设计和开发提供基础。
