A method for evaluating airborne wear particle emissions from sliding contacts based on the novel aerodynamic chamber design
The problem of emission of airborne wear particles from sliding contacts, including their quantification, size classification and characterisation, is one of the fundamental problems lying at the intersection of Tribology, Aerosol Science and Ecological Science. The overall purpose of the present project is to develop a new method for evaluating emissions of airborne wear particles from sliding contacts with account of contact temperature. The concept of the project is based on using original aerodynamic chamber for airborne wear particle measurements, acicular thermocouple technique for contact temperature measurements and energy hypothesis for airborne wear particle emission. It is expected that the project results will lead a new method that enables accurate quantification of airborne wear particles for a wide class of friction materials and various friction conditions. This, in its turn, will allow approaching the solution of important ecological problems, e.g. prediction of the ecological damage caused by transport vehicles, design of eco-friendly friction systems, and solution of tribological problems, e.g. identification of the wear mechanisms, finding the proportion between the total wear and emitted airborne wear particulate matter, etc.
