2. 1. Numerical simulation of thermomechanically coupled transient rolling contact - An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach

   Author : Andreas Draganis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermomechanical coupling; finite element method; transient analysis; arbitrary Lagrangian--Eulerian; rolling contact; frictional contact;

   Abstract : Numerical simulation of rolling contact serves as an important complement to laboratory and full-scale testing in the endeavour to further the understanding of related physical mechanisms, e.g. the influence of friction on the rolling motion, the thermomechanical interaction, damage phenomena and related modes of failure.

4. 2. Numerical simulation of thermomechanical rolling contact using an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation

   Author : Andreas Draganis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rolling contact; finite element method; thermomechanical analysis; arbitrary Lagrangian--Eulerian;

   Abstract : In the endeavour to further the understanding of thermomechanical rolling contact, numerical simulations serve as an important complement to laboratory and full-scale testing. In the development of numerical simulation methods, the challenge is to enhance predictive capabilities while keeping computational efforts reasonable. READ MORE

5. 3. Thermomechanics of block brakes

   Author : Daniel Thuresson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; friction; pin model; contact mechanics; brake; thermo camera; thermomechanical; wear; freight train.; finite element; temperature measurement;

   Abstract : Friction in sliding contacts plays an important role in tribology. Applications can be found in many engineering fields  such as braking of vehicles  in which friction brakes are by far the most common. Thus, an understanding of the mechanisms involved in friction brakes has become more important as the demands on brakes increase. READ MORE

   Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. READ MORE

7. 5. Thermomechanical Modelling of Tribological Systems

   Author : Niclas Strömberg; Alain Curnier; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The present thesis concerns the thermomechanical modelling of contact, friction and wear. Within a framework of continuum thermodynamics, Signorini's contact conditions, Coulomb's law of friction and Archard's law of wear are derived by means of a free energy and a dissipation potential.
