Tribological Challenges of Green Energy Production and Use An Industrially Sponsored Project
Supervisory Team. Dr Monica Ratoi and Dr Brian Mellor. Project description. The reduction of carbon emissions which contribute to climate change requires novel technologies for green energy production and use e.g. Read more
Elastic wave propagation
We have built our world out of steel, concrete, and other stiff solids. How well these structures endure depends on the tension and strains they are under, which are closely related to the material’s elastic behaviour. Read more
Optimisation of loose ring oil lift using combined numerical experimental methods
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Due to the environmental and economic limitations, low friction polymer materials able to withstand high loadings and many years of continuous operation are to be used in many applications such as industrial pumps. Read more
PhD Studentship in Additives for EV lubrications
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Additives for EV lubrications leading to the award of a PhD degree. . Read more
