3. 2. Tribological characterization of a ball bearing subjected to an electric field : Electric drivetrain tribology

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

   Author : Muhammad Umar Farooq; [2023]
   Keywords : Ball bearing; electric drivetrain; tribology; electric field; characterization; bearing currents; discharge;

   Abstract : Electric machines are widely used in for instance the automotive industry in electric vehicles and in wind turbines. The electrical machines have mechanical bearings as an integral part used to transmit power and load. In addition, the main function includes reducing friction between interacting surfaces.

   Abstract : There are two main goals of this thesis. Firstly, to improve and develop an existing hot weartester at Karlstad University so that it may test more samples of different sizes. Secondly, totest previously impossible samples and investigate their tribological properties and measurethe coefficient of friction with high reproducibility. READ MORE

6. 5. Tribology of Polymer Composite with Low Load Application for Automotive Industries

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

   Author : Martin Asuquo; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In recent times, there has been an increased interest in replacing conventional metals and synthetic fiber composites in various automobile parts with natural fiber polymer composites. These natural fiber composites offer benefits over conventional materials in terms of reduction in weight, lower cost, comparable high specific properties such as specific stiffness and strength, low abrasion property, and availability of these materials.
