16. Semi-deterministic numerical simulations of wear on various scales : From chemo-mechanical effects to the wear of components in orbital type hydraulic motors
Sammanfattning : A costly effect, caused by the relative motion of machine components in contact, is wear. Solid surfaces come into contact when the lubricant film thickness is thin, resulting in locally high pressures and high wear rates. Components and machines will, due to this wear, eventually lose their functionality. LÄS MER
17. Tribology for Greener Combustion Engines : Scuffing in Marine Engines and a Lubricating Boric Acid Fuel Additive
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
18. Modelling of wear and tribofilm growth
Sammanfattning : Wear is a consequence of nature which becomes costly if uncontrolled. Basic wear protection is provided by lubrication which will decrease the severity of the contact between asperities. LÄS MER
19. Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Cam and Roller Follower
Sammanfattning : Modelling and simulation of friction is a research issue that still requires an extensive amount of input from the scientific community. In a lubricated system, the dissipation of energy is connected to the direct contact between the surfaces, or more precisely the tribofilms, as well as of the shearing of the lubricant film. LÄS MER
20. Thin lubricating films in elastohydrodynamic contacts : experimental techniques and applications
Sammanfattning : The objective of the work reported in this thesis was to increase understanding of thin film lubrication in elastohydrodynamic (EHL) contacts. Increasingly stringent cost demands upon the manufacturing of lubricated machine elements coupled with new environmental requirements have created a need for this knowledge. LÄS MER
