Tribology Development in Russia and Belarus
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents a brief overview of the achievements of the Russian and Soviet tribology schools. The contribution of the Soviet tribology leader Prof. Kragelskii into the science of friction, wear, and lubrication is discussed. The basic results of tribologists from the main research centers in Russia are considered. The development of tribology in Belarus is outlined with particular attention to the studies carried out at the Metal-Polymer Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Some new achievements in friction contact mechanics are reported and new instruments for studying surface forces in friction contact and tribotesting at microscale are described. A new instrument for tribodiagnostics – in-line optomagnetic detector is presented.

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Wear Behaviour of Functionally Graded LM13/B4C Composite
Aluminium alloy reinforced with boron carbide (10 wt.%) was fabricated using stir casting method followed by centrifugal casting and the cylindrical specimen with dimension 150 x 150 x 15 mm was obtained. The composite s...
The Accelerated Aging Effect of Salt Water on Lignocellulosic Fibre Reinforced Composites
In recent years natural fibre reinforced composite materials have received an increasing attention in consideration of their biodegradability and admirable mechanical properties. The present paper reveals the experimenta...
Flammability Tests on Hot Surface for Several Hydraulic Fluids
Industrial equipment using hydraulic fluids are design to accept higher load and speed, implicitly higher temperatures, including for fluids. Leakages from enclosures like gear boxes or hydraulic systems could increase t...
Assessment of Tribological performance of Coconut Shell Ash Particle Reinforced Al-Si-Fe Composites using Grey-Fuzzy Approach
The paper investigates optimization of wear behaviour of coconut shell ash (CSA) reinforced aluminium composites using pin-on-disc setup. The experiments were carried out with three process parameters: Load, percentage (...
Possibilities of Application of High Pressure Jet Assisted Machining in Hard Turning with Carbide Tools
High Pressure Jet Assisted Machining (HPJAM) in turning is a hybrid machining method in which a high pressure jet of cooling and lubrication fluid, under high pressure (50 MPa), leads to the zone between the cutting tool...
