  2. 2. Electrical Characterisations of Bearings

    Author : Abhishek Joshi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ball bearing; Equivalent circuit model; Lubricants; Bearing Capacitance; Spherical bearing; Mechanical bearing; Bearing currents; Electrical conduction; Electrical characterisation;

    Abstract : Mechanical bearings are an integral part of industry, and are used in various places in order to reduce friction between two interacting surfaces and are used to transmit power and loads. Mechanical bearings are one of the most extensively used components within the wind industry, but on the other hand they are also one of the most dominantly failing failed components. READ MORE

  3. 3. Nonlinear Isoviscous Behaviour of Compliant Journal Bearings

    Author : Matthew Cha; Sergei Glavatskih; Ilmar Santos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compliant Journal Bearings;

    Abstract : Plans to shut down nuclear power plants in some European countries as well as increased electricity production by wind and solar power will increase the work load on hydroelectric power plants in the future. Also, due to the power grid regulations, hydroelectric power plants undergo more frequent start-ups and shut-downs. READ MORE

  4. 4. Sliding bearings for hydropower applications : novel materials, surface texture and EALs

    Author : Donald McCarthy; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Abstract : Hydropower, the utilisation of water as a means of driving machinery, has been used for many centuries. Today, the great power of water is being harnessed to generate as much as 20% of worldwide electricity. The requirement for reliable and efficient electricity generation needs to be matched by environmental awareness on the part of the industry. READ MORE
