Pitting Influence on Electrical Capacitance in EHL Rolling Contacts

An Investigation into Grease Behavior in Thermal EHL Circular Contacts

The behaviors of two lithium lubricating greases were investigated under EHL circular contact through measurements of traction coefficients on a self-made rig in which the contact was continuously fed with fresh grease. The average values of Erying shear stress and shear modulus of the two lithium greases were obtained from traction experimental data using this rig. Based on the Evans-Johnson m...

Dextrous manipulation with rolling contacts

Dextrous manipulation is a problem of paramount importance in the study of multi ngered robotic hands. Given a grasped object, the main objectives are: (a) generate trajectories for the nger joints so that through the e ects of contact constraints, the object can be transferred to a goal grasp con guration; and (b) derive control algorithms to realize planned trajectories. In this paper, we int...

Electrical Capacitance Tomography System

Electrical Capacitance Tomography is a non intruding technique used in industries. It is based on measuring the capacitance of multi-electrode ECT sensor produced by the change in dielectricity or due to change in concentration of material. With the use of computed values, a cross sectional image of the material placed in the dielectric medium is obtained. ECT system can be used in chemical fie...
