  2. 21. Engineering Ceramics for Tribological Systems. Manufacture, Properties and Testing

    Author : Lars Kahlman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal wear; ceramic composite; face seal; engineering ceramic; erosion; hybrid bearing; thermal spalling; lubrication; tribology; abrasive waterjet; abrasive wear;

    Abstract : A broad range of commercial and experimental grades of ceramics and ceramic composites was tested in various model tests and simplified component tests. The tests were done to establish important microstructural features, friction and wear mechanisms. READ MORE

  4. 22. Electro-Interfacial Composition Control by Ionic Liquid Technology : Nanostructure, Self-Assembly, and Friction

    Author : Sichao Li; Mark W. Rutland; Sergei Glavatskih; Nicholas Spencer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionic liquids; electrical double layer; self-assembly; electro-interfacial structure; tribotronics; supercapacitors; friction; lubrication; Jonvätskor; elektriskt dubbelskikt; självassociering; gränsskiktselektrostruktur; tribotronik; superkondensatorer; friktion; smörjning; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Given the potential of ionic liquids (ILs) for batteries, supercapacitors and advanced lubricants, it is crucial to understand how electric fields affect the interfacial behaviour in IL-solvent systems and the intricate relationship between nanostructure and tribotronic properties. This thesis investigates the structural and compositional changes of ILs with different solvents at electrified interfaces. READ MORE

  5. 23. Tribology for Greener Combustion Engines : Scuffing in Marine Engines and a Lubricating Boric Acid Fuel Additive

    Author : Petra Olander; Staffan Jacobson; Roland Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction; wear; lubrication; energy loss; atmospheric emissions; fuel efficiency; transport.; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at increased knowledge in two fields of tribological research; both related to making currently used combustion engines greener. The first field regards the possibilities of using a boric acid fuel additive to increase fuel efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 24. Rough surface elastohydrodynamic lubrication and contact mechanics

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

    Abstract : In the field of tribology, there are numerous theoretical models that may be described mathematically in the form of integro-differential systems of equations. Some of these systems of equations are sufficiently well posed to allow for numerical solutions to be carried out resulting in accurate predictions. READ MORE

  7. 25. Elasto-hydrodynamic film formation in heavily loaded rolling-sliding contacts : Influence of surface topography on the transition between lubrication regimes

    Author : Jonny Hansen; Roland Larsson; Marcus Björling; Guillermo Morales-Espejel; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

    Abstract : To meet the stringent demands set on future gear transmissions, and to allow for manufacturers to make them more efficient and durable, it is essential to understand what mechanisms that govern their performance. This work was launched with the chief targets of establishing key competence in gear lubrication. READ MORE
