Controllable tribological behaviour between two structures

摩擦力是指运动表面和静止表面之间的运动阻力，它存在于许多机械零件中。尽管摩擦在大多数技术应用中是不期望的，但是在许多其他应用（例如制动器和离合器）中，摩擦已经被用于实现高水平的摩擦。合作伙伴追求的研究假设是，活性功能材料的应用能够创造出新型摩擦副，其特征是能够通过外部控制作用来适应摩擦学特性。自适应滑动轴承的基本原理将在研究项目中进行研究。适当的机制和概念，将制定出能够影响所需的摩擦学性能，通过外部控制。本文将通过实验和详细的数学建模研究自适应润滑孔板轴承和无润滑轴向轴承。

Friction demonstrates the motion resistance between moving and stationary contacting surfaces that exists in a wide number of machine parts. Although friction is undesirable in most of technical applications, it has been utilized to achieve a high level of friction in many other applications such as brakes and clutches. The partners pursue the research hypothesis that the application of active functional materials enables the creation of novel friction pairings characterized by the ability to adapt the tribological properties by an external control action.The fundamentals of adaptive slide bearings will be investigated within the research project. Proper mechanisms and concepts will be worked out which enables to influence the desired tribological properties by means of external control. The adaptive lubricated orifice bearing and the non-lubricated axial bearing will be investigated by experiments and detailed mathematical modeling.
