Condition monitoring of machine elements becomes more important over the last years.
Different approaches to detect failures in mechanical components have been developed. All …

The occurrence of the motor shaft voltage and bearing current caused by the inverter will
aggravate bearing damage and lead to the premature failure of bearings. Many types of …

The trend towards electrification presents new challenges in bearing design. One such
consideration is the occurrence of electrical discharge contact pathways, which can lead to …

In this study, we developed the electrical impedance method which simultaneously
measures the thickness and breakdown ratio of oil films in elastohydrodynamic (EHD) line …

In this study, the electrical impedance method was developed to monitor the thickness and
breakdown ratio of oil films in elliptical elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts of practical ball …

This book summarises work done and experience gained over the past three decades in the
area of tribology in electrical environments. It takes a close look at behaviour and response …

The integration of Sensing Machine Elements (SME) is a promising approach to obtain
reliable data about relevant process and state variables of technical systems. However, the …

Various methods for calculating the capacitance of unloaded rolling elements are compared
to improve the electric characterization of rolling element bearings. Semi-analytical …

This work presents an architecture for multi-physical numerical calculations of ball bearing
contacts based on OpenFOAM. It is built according to the state-of-the-art for fluid-solid …

A theoretical investigation has been carried out to determine the time span for the
