Characterization And Reduction Of Friction In A Hybrid Transmission, Mark D. Dubois
Open Access Dissertations and Theses
The aim of this study was to explore environmentally friendly solutions to reduce the friction present in automotive transmissions.
A 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid transmission was used in this study to establish reasonable operating conditions for the gear surfaces.
Background on gear operation and surface interaction was studied to understand the nature of the contact between the gear surfaces. Based on this, a mathematical model of gear interaction was developed and used to bracket the loading conditions of the gear tooth interface to be up to 1.5GPa of contact pressure with 2m/s relative sliding velocity. This information was ...

Tribometer-Based Quantifying Of Friction In Metal Cutting, Jeremy Boyd
Open Access Dissertations and Theses
The objective of this research was the further development and characterization of a heavy load, high temperature pin on disc tribometer. The goal of performing this testing on the tribometer is to simulate realistic machining conditions experienced between a tool and workpiece ‘offline’ in order to reduce the number of real machining trials used to select a tool coating and subsequently optimize cutting parameters. This approach is based on the understanding that a change in the cutting speed can alter the tool-chip interface temperature profile, which can change the coefficient of friction (COF) between the tool and workpiece and impact ...
