Keywords: Tribology - Fluid lubrication - Hydrodynamic bearings - Gas bearings - Lubricant - Fluid rheology - Modeling and numerical simulation - TEHD theory - Hydrodynamic bearings

Research theme:

  • Study of the dynamic behaviour of fluid bearings in rotating machines.
  • Study of thermo-elastic-hydrodynamic lubrication (TEHD) of mechanical systems.
  • Non-linear dynamic analysis of flexible rotors (Jeffcott rotor) supported by aero-elastic leaf bearings.
  • Method for homogenizing the hydrodynamic behaviour of rough bearings.
  • Study of the non-Newtonian effects on the hydrodynamic performance of lubricated mechanical systems.
  • Study of the effects of surface porosity on the behaviour of a lubricated system by the squeezing effect of the film (Squeez film).
  • Thermo-elasto-hydrodynamic study of dynamically loaded bearings of reciprocating machines (MCI, compressor).
  • Modeling of the aerodynamic thermo-elastodynamic behaviour of gas microbearings and micro-butées.
  • Rheological characterization of lubricating fluids and contact surfaces.
