  1. 1. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Viktor Lange; [2023]
    Keywords : Tribology; friction; wear; steam; steam engine; ranotor; invencon; invencon AB; steel; contact mechanics; hexagonal boron nitride; molybdenum disulfide; tungsten disulfide; lubricants; solid lubricants; Tribologi; friktion; nötning; ånga; ångmotor; stål; kontaktmekanik; smörjning; smörjmedel; fasta smörjmedel;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling of a Glued Bolt Joint in Finite Element

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Tove Boivie; [2023]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; finite element method; adhesive; bolt; hybrid joint; Hållfasthetslära; finita element metoden; lim; skurv; hybrid förband;

    Abstract : This report presents a master thesis project at KTH at the school of Engineering Science. The project is done in collaboration with ABB Robotics, a company who develops industrial robots. A robot consists of several parts and the last structural part is the wrist. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling of a ball contact with a coated plate

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Mohammadreza Saeedi; [2023]
    Keywords : Pin on disc tribometer; coating; contact mechanics; finite element method; tribology; Pin on disc tribometer; beläggning; kontaktmekanik; finita elementmetod; tribologi;

    Abstract : During tightening of a screw, the variation in friction will affect the force acting on the joint, especially when tightening using torque as a control parameter. So, it is crucial to have a proper understanding of the contact mechanism and friction in the screw head to joint and thread interfaces. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of Corner and Bathtub Attachments with Respect to Static Sizing

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Linus Malm; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied Mechanics; Solid Mechanics; FEM; Static Strength; Abaqus; Fittings; Failure Modes;

    Abstract : This master thesis studied the possibilities of implementing new handbook methodologies for sizing of corner and bathtub attachments with respect to static strength.  Parametric studies of corner and bathtub attachments were performed in order to examine the effect of boundary conditions and vital dimensions with respect to static strength.

  6. 5. Development of a subject specific 3D knee finite element model to estimate the effect of weight loss on cartilage biomechanics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Julius Dahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : biomechanics; knee; cartilage; subject-specific; finite element; FE; FEM; weight loss; osteoarthritis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. READ MORE
