SKF has a broad portfolio of extremely powerful software for the calculation and simulation of all types of rolling bearings. Among these are highly complex systems, which can investigate bearing behaviour in a virtual environment: […]

Measuring adhesion and friction of polymer nanofibers

04.01.2021
Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. [...]
Friction and Wear: From Elementary Mechanisms to Macroscopic Behavior

23.09.2019
In the last 25 years, the global trend to miniaturization has raised interest in frictional processes on the micro and nano scale and facilitated appearance of nanotribology as a new branch of research. Soon it [...]
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Zinc Phosphate - Iron Oxide Reaction

04.04.2016
In order to improve wear resistance of the surfaces operating in harsh conditions, along with base oils additives are frequently used. ZDDP is one of the best additives in terms of antiwear performance, however, environmentally unfriendly. [...]
Modeling Ice Friction

13.05.2019
Glaciers and Ice Friction Glaciers are comprised of snow accumulated over many years and compressed into large ice masses. Formed when snow remains in a location long enough to form ice, glaciers are unique in [...]
High Hardness Boron Rich Boron Carbide is Synthesized using CVD

18.05.2020
Hardness is a material’s resistance to plastic deformation and this property is widely used to rank materials for various engineering applications. Hard materials can be used for cutting, drilling. Hardness frequently correlates with wear resistance [...]
