Bio and slide bearings, their lubrication by non-newtonian oils and application in non-conventional systems

Objective

BioBearing is a ToK in the field of non-conventional systems for slide journal bearing and human biobearing lubrication for refused or improved non-Newtonian oils with elastic and micropolar properties in variable time dependent magnetic induction field and deformed bearing surfaces and hyperelastic cartilage surfaces in human joints.

The main topics of this transfer of knowledge are as follows:
- Establishing analytical, numerical and experimental methods for solving of bearing systems working in non-conventional conditions and environments,
- Calculation, simulation and measuring of pressure and temperature distributions in slide radial bearing gap as well as exploitation parameters, mainly: friction forces, friction coefficients, wear of cooperating surfaces in experimental and numerical way,
- Development the knowledge of active control of fluid flow and vibrations, particularly in relation to biobearings,
- Gaining the level of nanotechnology knowledge concerning the application of slide bearing by utilization of biomaterials.

BioBearing research field is related to hydrodynamics, biomechanics, control systems, vibration, tribology and lubrication. It is simultaneously connected to many multidisciplinary domains of knowledge, for example: hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, theory of elasticity, theory of plasticity, electrodynamics, electronic engineering, mechanochemistry and mechanobiology.

The theory of conjugated fields is applied, too. To proof the numerical results under different sliding conditions of the bearings (elaborated in Gdansk University of Technology - GUT - as the host organization), implementation of the modern non destructive testing methods is required (which are available in the partner organizations). The external recruited experts are also needed for those activities which are related to active control of fluid flows and vibrations, as well as nanostructure biomaterials.
