The Master’s Program at UTFPR Aims to Evaluate the Flow of Lubricating Greases and Friction Modifiers at the Wheel-Rail Interface

If you have a background in Mechanical Engineering and are passionate about experimental activities, then this is the perfect opportunity for you. The Analysis and Simulation of Components Laboratory (LASC) at the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR) is partnering with the renowned company MRS Logística S.A. and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) to offer a unique master’s opportunity.

The main objective of this master’s program at UTFPR is to evaluate the flow of lubricating greases and friction modifiers at the wheel-rail interface, a crucial aspect for improving the performance and efficiency of this fundamental interaction in railway systems. Participants will receive a scholarship of R$ 2,100 for 24 months.

Comprehensive Activities Included in the Master’s Program at UTFPR

By applying for the master’s opportunity at UTFPR, you will have the chance to engage in exciting and challenging activities. Your role will include an in-depth study of the boundary lubrication of greases and friction modifiers, essential for understanding the processes occurring at the wheel-rail interface.

Context and Importance of the Study

The operation of the wheel-rail interface is highly complex, occurring under boundary lubrication conditions. In this regime, thin films resulting from physicochemical reactions between the lubricant and the surfaces play a crucial role in controlling friction and wear. Understanding the formation and behavior of these films is extremely important for optimizing lubrication performance at this interface. The success of this study could have a significant impact on the efficiency of railway systems, contributing to a smoother, more economical, and environmentally friendly operation.

How to Participate in the Master’s Program

If you meet the requirements and are eager to engage in innovative research in the field of mechanical engineering, this is your opportunity. Apply for the selection process for the master’s and doctoral program by sending your CV to toousseau@utfpredu.br/pintaude@utfpr.edu.br by 21/08/2023. Be ready to start your activities in September 2023 and dive into an exciting journey of discovery and advancement in the field of tribology and mechanical engineering.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Researchers reveal in Acre a network of nearly a thousand pre-Columbian roads totaling 350 km; some are more than 15 meters wide, reach 5.5 km, and lead to mysterious geoglyphs.

4 habits of people with superior intelligence that psychology associates with high mental performance: study shows link between intellect, active curiosity, review of opinions, attention control, and ability to learn from new evidence

Ice cube on the hot frying pan: the trick that generates steam in seconds, reduces overheating spots, and helps to make vegetables golden on the outside and soft on the inside without burning them.

A Brazilian living in rural Japan tested Uber Eats in the small town where he lives and discovered firsthand what any experienced delivery person already knows: away from the capital, the app hardly gets any orders, and when it does, it pays little.

Man spends 23 years building a steam locomotive from scratch in Australia, manufactures parts from raw materials inside his own shed, and now sees the machine leave home to pull tourists on a historic railway.
