  2. 21. Friction and wear in rolling and sliding contacts

    Author : Christer Spiegelberg; Sören Andersson; Roland Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tribology; friction; wear; rolling and sliding contacts; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Mechanical products are always expected to perform better, last longer, be more environmentally friendly and preferably cost less. Rolling and sliding contacts are found in many mechanical products, and friction and wear in the contacts have a direct impact on the products’ ability to meet these demands. READ MORE

  5. 23. Numerical simulation of crack growth and wear in rails

    Author : Jim Brouzoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crack propagation; material forces; Rolling Contact Fatigue; wear; railway mechanics;

    Abstract : Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of rails are huge problems for the railway industry with increased world-wide occurrence during the last decades. It is, therefore, of high interest to develop tools for the prediction of wear and RCF which can be used to estimate rail life. READ MORE

  6. 24. Numerical simulation of crack propagation and wear in rails

    Author : Jim Brouzoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wear; Rolling Contact Fatigue; crack propagation; railway mechanics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with rail deterioration due to Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) and wear. Focus lies primarily on numerical modelling and prediction, with the long-term objective of developing tools to be used for specifications and planning of rail maintenance. READ MORE

  7. 25. Computed Tomography of Acetabular Cup Wear and Effect of Surface Roughness on Wear and Oxidation of UHMWPE Hip Prostheses

    Author : Anneli Jedenmalm; Ulf Gedde; André Stark; Karin Jacobson; Nicklas Axén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hip prostheses; Computed Tomography; Surface roughness; UHMWPE; Wear; Coating; Gamma-irradiation; pin-on-disc; hip simulator; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Aseptic loosening is the most common complication in total hip replacement (5- 10% at 10 years follow up). The magnitude of the problem is illustrated by the fact that about one million hip prostheses are implanted worldwide each year. READ MORE
