In particular, the application to journal bearings is described by non-invasively measuring the viscosity and localized power losses throughout operation. This ultrasonic viscometer is based on the reflection of polarized shear waves from a thin resonating coating layer to increase the measurement sensitivity, in comparison to conventional ultrasonic methods. This instrument allows for a full engine oil viscoelastic characterization in-situ. The book investigates the effects of temperature, pressure and shear rate, and describes in detail the ultrasonic setup and method. Further, it demonstrates that the same technique can be applied similarly to monitor the lubrication of other engine components. As such, it offers a unique instrument that can drive the research of oil formulations to improve engine performance and fulfill the requirements of international fuel economy regulations. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAcoustical engineering 606 $aTribology 606 $aCorrosion and anti-corrosives 606 $aCoatings 606 $aAutomotive engineering 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aMaterials?Surfaces 606 $aThin films 606 $aEngineering Acoustics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T16000 606 $aTribology, Corrosion and Coatings$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z15000 606 $aAutomotive Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17047 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000 615 0$aAcoustical engineering. 615 0$aTribology. 615 0$aCorrosion and anti-corrosives. 615 0$aCoatings. 615 0$aAutomotive engineering. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aMaterials?Surfaces. 615 0$aThin films. 615 14$aEngineering Acoustics. 615 24$aTribology, Corrosion and Coatings. 615 24$aAutomotive Engineering. 615 24$aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials. 615 24$aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films. 676 $a620.11274 700 $aSchirru$b Michele$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0929200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254174203321 996 $aDevelopment of an Ultrasonic Sensing Technique to Measure Lubricant Viscosity in Engine Journal Bearing In-Situ$92088395 997 $aUNINA
