Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Starting from the analysis of the Stribeck curve, we can study the different lubrication regimes (dry, boundary, hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, elastohydrodynamic) and the associated concepts (viscosity, Reynolds equation,...) which allow by an appropriate choice of material, surface treatment, oil, grease,... to try to control the friction and wear phenomena.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Overview of the various types of bearings and lubrication modes: hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and elastohydrodynamic, as well in stationary regime as in non-stationary. Study of basic rheology of greases

 

This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, II.3, III.1, III.2, III.3, III.4, IV.1, IV.2, IV.3, V.1, V.2, V.3, VI.1, VI.2, VI.3, VI.4, VII.1, VII.2, VII.3, VII.4, VII.5, VII.6 of the MSc in mechanical engineering.
