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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Baly, a manufacturer from Santa Catarina that surpassed Red Bull and Monster to take the lead in the Brazilian energy drink market in December, is moving forward with the new factory in Araranguá, expected to create over a thousand jobs and begin operations in the second half of 2026.

The shortage of bricklayers is already making renovations more expensive in Brazil and forcing property owners to change the way they hire labor, while delayed projects, rework, low qualifications, and lack of planning are turning small constructions into increasingly costly headaches.

It looks like a spaceship landed on the roof, but it’s actually an old fire station with a glass structure, housing about 500 employees and showcasing one of the most impressive administrative headquarters in Europe.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.
