  1. 1. Fibre volume fractions’ and printing directions’ effects on tribological and mechanical properties in FDM printed carbon fibre reinforced PEEK : Suitability assessment of FDM printed PEEK-CF to act in a steam engine’s ball joint, by analysis of compressive properties, impact strength, friction and wear

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

    Author : William Tönnberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Ranotor; steam engine; PEEK; polyether-ether-ketone; carbon fibre reinforced PEEK; impact strength; compressive strength; compressive modulus; friction; wear; tribology; FFF; FDM; 3D-printing; printing parameters;

    Abstract : The purpose with this study was to investigate FDM/FFF manufactured carbon fibre reinforced PEEK and assess its suitability to act as a sealing- and bearing material in a modern steam engine’s ball joint. The steam engine is totally free from oil due to the risk of water- and steam contamination. READ MORE

  3. 2. On the friction and failure mechanisms of bearing and gear surfaces lubricated by a novel nanoadditive in highly stressed operating conditions

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

    Author : Diego Manuel Chamorro Ruz; [2022]
    Keywords : micropitting; nanoadditive; gear; bearing; tribology; rolling contact fatigue;

    Abstract : Obtaining an enhanced lifespan for mechanical transmissions has become a challenge in diverse application sectors. Micropitting as a contact fatigue mechanism has seriously jeopardized the well-being of rolling-sliding elements present for instance in gearboxes. READ MORE

  4. 3. Test Rig Adaptation for the Investigation of Bearings in Wave Energy Converters

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Keywords : Wave energy converter; bearings; tribology; Vågkraftsgenerator; lager; tribologi;

    Abstract : Wave energy and wave energy converters is a fast rapidly developing field of research and energy harvesting. In recent years, more and more designs have seen operational success, and more and more are in development. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dimensioning of a cutter wheel bearings

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

    Author : Kebin Xie; [2020]
    Keywords : cutter wheel; bearing; wear; scuffing; Archard equation; lubrication number; Reynold equation; Hertzian contact theory; impact load factor; FE model; Ansys; contact pressure on bearing;

    Abstract : Mobile Miner 40V is a machine used for rock excavation and developed by Epiroc. This machine is equipped with a large cutter wheel to perform the excavation. After a test run, some surfaces associated with bearings within the cutter wheel were found to be damaged due to scuffing - severe sliding wear. READ MORE
