Book excerpt: This book presents a general view on thin surface coatings used for tribological applications and it is based on the current state of understanding. The mechanisms of friction and wear in sliding and rolling contacts of coated surfaces are described. Basic information on coating techniques, tribology and surface mechanisms is given. Based on collected experimental works information is given on the properties of thin soft coatings, such as polymer, lamellar solid and soft metal coatings; thin hard coatings, such as nitride, carbide, oxide, boride and diamond and diamond-like coatings; and multi-component and multi-layer coatings. The influence of interface layers and lubricants is highlighted. The methods available for characterization of coated surfaces and for mechanical and chemical evaluation of their tribological properties are described. Tribological evaluation methods for accelerated and field testing and the need for standardization of quality assurance procedures are discussed. A methodology for the selection of thin coatings for tribological applications is presented and knowledge based expert system approaches for coating selection are reviewed. For different application examples, the basic tribological contact mechanisms are described and the possibilities for improving their tribological properties by using surface coatings are discussed. The application examples include sliding and rolling bearings, gears, tools for cutting and forming, erosion resistant applications, magnetic recording systems and bio-medical implants.

Book Process Monitoring  Diagnostics and Prognostics in MacHining Processes

Download or read book Process Monitoring Diagnostics and Prognostics in MacHining Processes written by Fatih Camci and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) technology increases system availability and safety while reducing costs, attributed to reduced maintenance and inventory, increased capacity, and enhanced logistics and supply chain performance. Employing effective generic process monitoring methods for abrupt failures and diagnostics and prognostics algorithms for incipient failures is an important prerequisite for widespread deployment of CBM. Diagnostics is the process of identifying, localizing and determining severity of a machine failure, whereas prognostics is the process of estimating the remaining-useful-life (RUL). This work presents methods based on support vector machines and hidden Markov models to diagnose abrupt and incipient failures and to estimate the RUL. The presented methods have the ability to handle non- stationary processes. There exist three major goals of this work: detecting abrupt failures (process monitoring), identifying the state of incipient failures (health state estimation) and estimating RUL of the machine (prognostics).

Book Condition based Maintenance and Machine Diagnostics

Download or read book Condition based Maintenance and Machine Diagnostics written by J.H. Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-07-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condition-based monitoring is an accepted feature of many industries: petro-chemical, power generation, coal mining and steel-making, for instance. In manufacturing, its application has been somewhat muted. This text attempts to present the fundamental justification for condition-based maintenance together with enough analytic and practical guidance for its implementation. There are chapters on the two dominant techniques of vibration and debris analysis. Also, basic diagnostic methods are given along with a presentation of the systems approach to condition monitoring. A detailed case study shows the practical application of the techniques presented. Finally, future developments in the use of expert systems and A1 techniques are highlighted. Condition-based Maintenance and Machine Diagnostics gives details of both off-the-shelf solutions and analytic diagnostic techniques to enable a bespoke solution to be developed. It is suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of manufacturing and industrial engineering, and it furnishes managers in industry with sufficient information to judge the usefulness of the techniques for their particular application.

Book Machining of Hard Materials

Download or read book Machining of Hard Materials written by J. Paulo Davim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hard machining is a relatively recent technology that can be defined as a machining operation, using tools with geometrically defined cutting edges, of a work piece that has hardness values typically in the 45-70HRc range. This operation always presents the challenge of selecting a cutting tool insert that facilitates high-precision machining of the component, but it presents several advantages when compared with the traditional methodology based in finish grinding operations after heat treatment of work pieces. Machining of Hard Materials aims to provide the reader with the fundamentals and recent advances in the field of hard machining of materials. All the chapters are written by international experts in this important field of research. They cover topics such as: • advanced cutting tools for the machining of hard materials; • the mechanics of cutting and chip formation; • surface integrity; • modelling and simulation; and • computational methods and optimization. Machining of Hard Materials can serve as a useful reference for academics, manufacturing and materials researchers, manufacturing and mechanical engineers, and professionals in machining and related industries. It can also be used as a text for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students studying mechanical engineering, manufacturing, or materials.

Book Engineering Condition Monitoring

Download or read book Engineering Condition Monitoring written by Ron Barron and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1996 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintenance can account for an extremely large proportion of the operating costs of machinery. Additionally, the downtime caused by machine breakdowns can severely affect the productivity of factories or the safety of products. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to consider the monitoring of their equipment 'in situ' in order to reduce the number of breakdowns experienced and to avoid the unnecessary cost and delay caused by repairs. Engineering Condition Monitoring provides an overview of all aspects of this important technique paying special attention to the vibration analysis of rotating machines. The text will be suitable for industrial practitioners and managers along with postgraduate students involved in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. The authors have used their vast collective experience both in industry and as academic teachers to produce a broad, descriptive text, concentrating on practical aspects, that will be invaluable to anyone involved in the operation or sub-contracting of condition monitoring methods.
