Continuous Stribeck Curve Measurement Using Tribometer

Submitted by NANOVEA on Fri, 10/25/2013 - 19:29

Irvine, Calif., Oct 24, 2013 – Nanovea demonstrates for the first time the ability to measure a continuous Stribeck Curve. Using the Nanovea Tribometer advanced speed control, from 2000 to 0.01 rpm, within 10 minutes software monitoring provides a complete Stribeck Curve. Prior to this advancement a Stribeck Curve has been shown to be evaluated in a stepwise fashion requiring data stitching. This advancement provides precise data throughout lubricant regime evaluation and substantially reduces time and cost.

Hi,

I started a research project on Impact problem of nonlinear beam (all kind of nonlinearity). Has anyone studied on this issue? Please give me some reference or direction. It will be a great help. Thank a lot

Best regards.

Electrothermal Analysis followed by a Stress analysis

Submitted by froblespoblete on Thu, 10/24/2013 - 13:20

Hi,

I am currently modeling an electrothermal actuator.

I want to see the displacement that a device can generate when I apply a voltage difference between its ends.

First, I run a coupled thermal-electric simulation and got the temperature profile. Finally, I run a Static, general analysis to get the displacements, using the temperature profile as a Predefined Field.
