Wear modeling with sensitivity to lubricant chemistry
… at the design stage for an engine component or a lubricant formulation. The purpose of this research is to develop a theoretical and numerical framework for modeling the formation and evolution of ZDDP antiwear films based on the relevant chemical pathways and physical mechanisms at work. The …

Modeling of the effects of lubricant chemistry on engine component wear and parametric analysis
… antiwear film formation and the effect of lubricant chemistry on engine wear through modeling has just begun to emerge. The purpose of this research is going to improve such a model modeling ZDDP antiwear processes so that it can be used to understand the dynamics of antiwear film formation …

The feasibility of using electrostatic charge condition monitoring for lubricant additive screening
International standards require lubricant formulators to develop additive packages that increase fuel economy, reduce environmental impact and minimise wear over ever increasing service intervals. However, additive behaviour and interactions between additives is not well understood. An absence of …

A novel method of detecting galling and other forms of catastrophic adhesion in tribotests
… are used to evaluate the performance of lubricants and surface treatments intended for use in industrial applications. They are invaluable tools for lubricant development since many lubricant parameters can be screened in the laboratory with only the best going on to production trials. …
