1. Lubrication of sliding bearings for hydropower applications
Sammanfattning : The term "sliding bearing" refers to types of bearing where two conformal surfaces (usually the stationary bearing and a moving shaft) slide relative to one another with load distributed directly across the interface. A suitable lubricant may be employed to reduce the friction between these two surfaces. LÄS MER
2. Sliding bearings for hydropower applications : novel materials, surface texture and EALs
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. Wet clutch friction reliability : influence of water contamination and system design
Sammanfattning : Wet clutches are machine components using friction to transfer torque and providing interruptible connection between rotating shafts in different automobile applications including automatic transmissions. Like any friction generating machine components, wet clutches are susceptible to continuous wear and degradation during sliding. LÄS MER
4. Tribological Behaviour of Pb-free Engine Bearing Materials
Sammanfattning : Engine bearings are amongst the most critical components of an internal combustion engine that support and allow smooth rotation of the crankshaft. They are designed to operate under hydrodynamic lubrication condition where the bearing and shaft surface are separated by a thick lubricant film. LÄS MER
