At Luleå University of Technology (LTU) they are joining forces to establish a Swedish Research Center for Performance & Technology in Sports. Within the multidisciplinary formation we find the newly started Ski and Snow Laboratory […]
The optimization of lubricated rolling contacts with regard to friction and wear is an engineering challenge due to the complex mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses in the surface near area. Calculation models are used to […]
Throughout time, many test setups have been developed to evaluate the behaviour of cam-roller interfaces and improve their tribological performance. However, the working conditions of these tribological systems are often not accurately captured. The work […]
Open PhD position! Scaling Friction from Single Grain to Aggregate Grain (Fault-Gouge) Contacts Along with natural gas extraction, the subsurface of the earth is getting more and more important in the current period of energy […]
The push toward low powered, energy-saving devices has been a direction the electronics industry has always pursued. The switch to low powered LED lighting is a good example of this trend. Another avenue is the […]
According to the World Bank, agricultural development is a dominant tool to come out of extreme poverty. A country’s economic growth is also influenced by agriculture: in 2018, it accounted for 4 percent of global […]
What is Tribology: Video Explanation According to Sciencedirect, tribology is a science that studies the friction and wear of machine components and mechanisms. The results of the scientific activity of tribologists relate to the phenomena […]
By Dr. Ameneh Schneider – Optimol Instruments GmbH and Dr. Mathias Woydt – MATRILUB Introduction Interest in special coatings and thin films for tribological applications increased rapidly in the last few decades, especially driven by […]
‘Water’ being an abundant natural resource, can certainly be considered as a primary fluid in lubrication. As of now, most of the lubricants are petroleum-based because of their superior functionality compared to water-based lubricants(WBLs). Global […]
What is the link between a grain silo, a nylon sleeping bag and a flying helicopter? They can all accumulate triboelectric charges! The charges accumulate because the materials in relative motion are insulating materials (respectively […]
