16. Journal bearing design, lubrication and operation for enhanced performance
Sammanfattning : The increasing introduction of intermittent power sources combined with the de-regulation of electricity markets has led to increased instability in the electrical grid. This has led to increased start-up and shutdown of regulating power sources such as hydro-electric power plants and operation at non-ideal operating states both of which increase the wear and tear on machines.

17. Rough surface elastohydrodynamic lubrication and contact mechanics
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
18. Computational fluid dynamics in theoretical simulations of elastohydrodynamic lubrication
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis concerns computer simulations of lubrication processes, and the main part deals with simulations in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime. The thesis summarises the work performed in the five papers referred to as Paper A, B, C, D and E. LÄS MER
19. 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
20. Lubrication mechanism of hydrocarbon-mimicking ionic liquids
Sammanfattning : Lubrication is critical in order to achieve high efficiency and reliability of machine elements such as gears, bearings, and other moving mechanical assemblies (MMA). In space applications, tribological properties of lubricants are quickly growing more important. LÄS MER
