Book Resistivity  an Online Monitoring Parmeter for Antifriction Bearings

Download or read book Resistivity an Online Monitoring Parmeter for Antifriction Bearings written by Surendra Pal Singh Matharu and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The condition monitoring of rolling element bearings is becoming critical with advancement of technology. The existing major monitoring methods such as Vibration Signature Analysis, Acoustic Emission Measurement, Measurement of lubricant film thickness using Ultrasound Transducer or Strain Gages, Interferometric measurement of lubricant film thickness, etc. are either expensive or applicable after some wear has been set in or cannot be used for online condition monitoring of antifriction bearings. There always exists a possibility for development of a condition monitoring method which is simple, inexpensive and reliable. Keeping this in view, a new methodology has been developed for determination of lubricant film thickness based on Hertz contact theory. The formula for lubricant film thickness requires electrical resistivity of lubricant as one of the parameter. Thus, an inexpensive experimental setup is developed for determination of electrical resistivity of liquid lubricants and the results are validated in the work. The proposed method shows variation of lubricant film thickness during operation of bearing thus can be used for Predictive Online Condition Monitoring.

Book Aqueous Lubrication  Natural And Biomimetic Approaches

Download or read book Aqueous Lubrication Natural And Biomimetic Approaches written by Nicholas D Spencer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man lubricates mostly with oil. Nature lubricates exclusively with water. Pure water is a poor lubricant, but the addition of proteins, especially glycoproteins, can modify surfaces to make them far more lubricating at slow speeds. Understanding how nature does this, and the physical structures involved, is not only important for the understanding of diseases such as osteoarthritis, but also essential for the successful application of articulating implants, such as hips and knees, as well as the development of medical devices such as catheters and contact lenses. A host of important applications of water-based lubrication are already in place in the personal care and food industries, and further industrial applications of water-based lubrication could have a significant positive impact on the environment.This book is the first of its kind. It brings together the latest research in biological and biomimetic, water-based lubrication and is authored by the world's experts in the field.

Book Field Assisted Sintering

Download or read book Field Assisted Sintering written by Eugene A. Olevsky and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first ever scientific monograph including an in-depth analysis of all major field-assisted sintering techniques. Until now, the electromagnetic field-assisted technologies of materials processing were lacking a systematic and generalized description in one fundamental publication; this work promotes the development of generalized concepts and of comparative analyses in this emerging area of materials fabrication. This book describes modern technologies for the powder processing-based fabrication of advanced materials. New approaches for the development of well-tailored and stable structures are thoroughly discussed. Since the potential of traditional thermo-mechanical methods of material treatment is limited due to inadequate control during processing, the book addresses ways to more accurately control the resultant material's structure and properties by an assisting application of electro-magnetic fields. The book describes resistance sintering, high-voltage consolidation, sintering by low-voltage electric pulses (including spark plasma sintering), flash sintering, microwave sintering, induction heating sintering, magnetic pulse compaction and other field-assisted sintering techniques. Includes an in-depth analysis of all major field-assisted sintering techniques; Explains new techniques and approaches for material treatment; Provides detailed descriptions of spark plasma sintering, microwave sintering, high-voltage consolidation, magnetic pulse compaction, and various other approaches when field-assisted treatment is applied.
