Phd Student at Imperial College of London, UK, - Technology on Tribology
more information
The proposed research program will involve studying the initiation and growth of rolling contact fatigue cracks in non-conformal lubricated contacts with emphasis on rolling element bearing applications. In addition, the interaction of lubricant additives with the steel microstructure and composition is of interest. The project is largely experimental and the research will utilise a number of investigative techniques available in the Tribology Group, including the micro-pitting-rig (MPR), ball-on-disc tribometer (MTM rig), AFM, SEM as well as other, proprietary techniques. The research results could lead to significant improvements in efficiency and reliability of various machine components and rolling element bearings in particular.
