In rotating machinery, unbalanced mass is one of the most common causes of system vibration. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the unbalance response of a gas foil bearing-rotor system, based on a 30 kW-rated commercial hydrogen fu...

Spherical bearings play a crucial role in maintaining the safety of bridge systems. The frequent operation and wear rate over their lifespan highlight the necessity for methods to improve their tribological performance. In this study, GQZ-60000 unidi...

Electrostatic detection is a highly accurate way to monitor system performance failures at an early stage. However, due to the weak electrostatic signal, it can be easily interfered with under complex real-world conditions, leading to a reduction in...

Oleic-based trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester mixtures can be produced via esterification reaction between oleic acid (OA) and TMP, presenting important application as biobased lubricants. In this study, a new mathematical model that allows us to predic...

SAE 5160 steel, classified as high-strength, low-alloy steel, is widely used in the automotive sector due to its excellent mechanical strength and ductility. However, its inherently low corrosion resistance limits its broader application. This study...

The accelerated growth of electric vehicle (EV) powertrains has prompted the development of specialized fluids that meet stringent thermal and electrical requirements for immersion cooling systems, including interactions with non-metallic components...

In electric vehicles (EVs), bearings in traction motors are increasingly prone to electrical damage under operational currents and voltages, leading to accelerated wear and reduced lifespan. This study examines the extent of bearing damage under low-...

The lubrication behavior and mechanical characteristics of the main bearing area of an aero-engine main shaft bearing determine the reliability and life of the main shaft bearing. In aero-engine main shaft bearings, the lubricant not only plays the r...

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has introduced new challenges in drivetrain lubrication, particularly concerning electrical corrosion, frictional wear, and hydrogen embrittlement. While polyalphaolefin (PAO)-based lubricants are co...

This paper reports on the influence of various processing parameters and different SiCp proportions on the outcome of mechanical, tribological, microstructural, and microcompositional investigations of Al-Cu based composites used as potential brake f...
