  2. 1. On interface modeling  with emphasis on friction

    Author : Anders Söderberg; Sören Andersson; Lars-Erik Stacke; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; interface model; contact; friction; simulation; system behaviour; surface roughness; elastic foundation; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : The general trend toward increased use of computer models and simulations during product development has led to a need for accurate and reliable product models. The function of many products relies on contact interfaces between interacting components. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adhesion and Friction - a Study on Tactility

    Author : Kenneth Duvefelt; Ulf Olofsson; Emile Van Der Heide; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adhesion; finger; friction; humidity; material; model; tactile friction; tactility; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Although we are surrounded by hundreds of surfaces we can still distinguish them from each other simply by touch. The tactile information, interpreted by our brain and given by our fingers, is precise, but to put words to the sensation is very difficult — is it smooth, sticky or harsh? We do not only perceive surfaces differently, we also describe them in our own way. READ MORE

  5. 3. Surfaces Designed for High and Low Friction

    Author : Ulrika Pettersson; Staffan Jacobson; Roland Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; tribology; friction; surface texture; surface design; low friction; high friction; boundary lubrication; DLC; embossing; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises tribological studies of extremely well-defined surfaces of different designs. Both low-friction and high-friction surfaces were manufactured and experimentally evaluated.In the low-friction studies, lithography and anisotropic etching of silicon was first used as a texturing technique.

  6. 4. On the wood chipping process : a study on basic mechanisms in order to optimize chip properties for pulping

    Author : Lisbeth Hellström; Torbjörn Carlberg; Per Engstrand; Sören Östlund; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood chipping; Chip formation; Digital Speckle Photography; Friction; Fracture Processes; Analytical model; Laboratory Wood Chipper; Force Measurement; Vibration Synthesis; Energy Efficiency; Chip Damage; TMP; CTMP; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : In both the chemical and mechanical pulping process, the logs are cut into wood chips by a disc chipper before fibre separation. To make the wood chipping process more efficient, one have to investigate in detail the coupling between process parameters and the quality of the chips. READ MORE

    Abstract : Tactile perception is considered an important contributor to the overall consumer experience of a product. However, what physical properties that create the specifics of tactile perception, are still not completely understood. READ MORE
