Design of a fuzzy model based on vibration signal analysis to auto‐detect the gear faults

Mohammad Hashemi, Mir Saeed Safizadeh

The purpose of this paper is to detect gears' faults with an automatic decision‐making process and find a reliable method to detect faults on gear systems using a composition of…

Tribological properties of crown‐type phosphate ionic liquid as additive in poly(ethylene glycol) for steel/steel contacts

Dong Jiang, Litian Hu, Dapeng Feng

The purpose of this paper is to design the crown‐type phosphate ionic liquid additive which can dissolve in poly(ethylene glycol) (shortened to PEG) completely, and evaluate the…

Volatiles from thin film degradation of bio‐based, synthetic and mineral basestocks

Arvydas Stoncius, Irma Liascukiene, Sigitas Jankauskas, Svajus J. Asadauskas

Workmanship concerns lead to more focus on volatile materials, released by industrial lubricants. Typically, flash point test and thermo‐gravimetrical analysis (TGA) are used to…
