5. Problem Background
Dr. Iglesias Victoria is currently researching wear and friction characteristics
Develop new lubricants that can be used to improve wear resistance of gearboxes and bearings used in wind turbines.
Improve upon the design of the rotational reciprocating test rig
The linearly reciprocating test rig will be designed by 2 MSD groups
P15660 – Armature Subsystem
P15661 – Base Subsystem
