1. 1. Enhancement of evaluation method of journal bearings’ performance in heavy-duty diesel engines

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

   Author : Sateesh Nataraj; [2021]
   Keywords : Asperity contact pressure; elastohydrodynamic lubrication; friction; flow factors; run-in wear profile; Asperitetskontakttryck; elastohydrodynamik; friktion; flödesfaktorer; slitageprofil efter inkörning;

   Abstract : Journal bearings are being used in various locations of an internal combustion engine. They contribute to a large portion of total engine friction and lowering it means a significant contribution to CO2 reduction. READ MORE

3. 2. Farmers perspective’s on the frictions and tractions of regenerative agriculture in Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Emma Stockvall Carlsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Regenerative Agriculture; Nordic Agriculture; Farming; Zones of Friction; Zones of Traction; Hållbar utveckling; regenerativt jordbruk; nordiskt jordbruk; jordbruk; barriärer; möjligheter;

   Abstract : The notion that the world's food system is in crisis is becoming more common. Such arguments point to a slew of problems, ranging from malnutrition, poverty, and obesity to industrial farming, overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, low food security, environmental destruction, biodiversity depletion, animal health, as well as corporate domination and a lack of resilience.

4. 3. CFD study and method development for air intake systems using OpenFOAM

   University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

   Author : Giovanni Calzolari; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This report is the result of a joint collaboration between the two Swedish companies AFRY and Scania AB. The need of CFD analyses for internal flow purposes are continuously increasing in companies like Scania. However the use of CFD software is limited to license costs. READ MORE

5. 4. The effects of basal friction and basement configuration on deformation of fold-and-thrust belts: insights from analogue modeling

   University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Kai Xue; [2012]
   Keywords : basal configuration; basal friction; analogue modeling; fold-and-thrust belts;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses the effects of basal friction and basement configuration on the deformation of the fold-and-thrust belts in convergent zones. A series of analogue models were conducted with adjacent different basal configuration and frictional properties to observe and gain a better understanding of these basal effects and their interactions.

6. 5. TRIBOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF INJECTION CAMS LUBRICATION IN ORDER TO REDUCE FRICTION & WEAR

   University essay from Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik (SET)

   Author : Julien Claret-Tournier; [2007]
   Keywords : Tribology; Friction; Wear; Lubrication; Oil Film Thickness; Injection Cam; Engine Development;

   Abstract : Engine development is now driven by cost, performance, governmental regulations and customer demands. Several of the requirements have tribological associations. Tribological improvements which consist in lowering friction and improving wear resistance in engines, will play a major role to increase reliability and life cycle. READ MORE
