1. 1. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

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

   Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
   Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

   Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.

3. 2. Vibroacoustic Analysis of an OLTC Diverter Switch for Condition Monitoring : Time frequency analysis with Fourier and wavelet transform in combination with multivariate logistic regression for condition monitoring of OLTC diverter switch

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

   Author : Simon Persson; [2023]
   Keywords : Wavelet transform; CWT; logistic regression; machine learning; ML; vibroacoustic analysis; time frequency analysis; tap changer; diverter switch; power transformer; classification; prediction; condition; vibrations; state prediction; Hitachi Energy;

   Abstract : Vibrations are everywhere around us all the time and we often recognise them as sounds that we can hear and analyse with our brain. In this thesis, data that has been gathered from a diverter switch (DS) in a controlled environment, is analysed. READ MORE

4. 3. Microstructure and Mechanical Investigation ofCarbides Particles Reinforced High AusteniticManganese Steel

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

   Author : Abderrahim Ait ouakrim; [2023]
   Keywords : Metal Matrix Composites MMCs ; Manganese steel; Carbides particles; Wear resistance;

   Abstract : The objective of this study was to produce a metal matrix composite (MMC). This compositematerial proves highly suitable for scenarios involving abrasive wear, owing to the exceptionalhardness of carbide particles, in conjunction with the remarkable ductility and capacity for workhardening found in Hadfield steel.

5. 4. Analysis of high-voltage low-current DC/DC converters for electrohydrodynamic pumps

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Sigge Axelsson; Jonas Gartner; Axel Stafström; [2023]
   Keywords : high-voltage; low-current; low-power; DC DC; DC-DC; high-gain; converter; electrohydrodynamic pump; EHD; transformerless converter; Royer-based converter; resonant Royer oscillator; Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier; CWVM; voltage multiplier; series-connected positive-negative voltage multiplier; SPNVM; planar air-core transformer; planar transformer; high-freqency Royer-based converter; overcurrent protection; LT8331; gallium nitride; GaN; planar PCB-integrated transformers;

   Abstract : Moving parts cause vibrations and tend to wear out. In applications where maintenance is complicated, solutions without moving parts are therefore advantageous. Electrohydrodynamic pumps are such a solution. Instead of mechanical propulsion, they use strong electric fields to induce movement in a dielectric cooling liquid. READ MORE

6. 5. Biomechanical investigation of the efficacy and perceived performance of a knee brace

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Alice Garnheim; Alvina Vernersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Biomechanical investigation; knee brace; osteoarthritis; design; OA; healthy subjects; gait analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The most prevalent joint disease in adults is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is the joint which is the most affected by osteoarthritis, with mechanical overloading being one of the causes. While no cure exists for osteoarthritis, many different treatment options are available. One alternative is to wear a knee brace on the affected leg. READ MORE
