Stretchable electronics are of great significance for the development of the next-generation smart interactive systems. Here, we propose an intrinsically stretchable organic tribotronic transistor (SOTT) without a top gate electrode, which is composed of a stretchable substrate, silver nanowire electrodes, semiconductor blends, and a nonpolar elastomer dielectric. The drain-source current of the SOTT can be modulated by external contact electrification with the dielectric layer. Under 0-50% stretching both parallel and perpendicular to the channel directions, the SOTT retains great output performance.

  • Software Framework for Tribotronic Systems
    SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK FOR TRIBOTRONIC SYSTEMS APREPRINT Jarno Kansanaho∗ Tommi Kärkkäinen Faculty of Information Technology Faculty of Information Technology University of Jyväskylä, FI-40014, Finland University of Jyväskylä, FI-40014, Finland [email protected] [email protected] October 31, 2019 ABSTRACT Increasing the capabilities of sensors and computer algorithms produces a need for structural support that would solve recurring problems. Autonomous tribotronic systems self-regulate based on feedback acquired from interacting surfaces in relative motion. This paper describes a software framework for tribotronic systems. An example of such an application is a rolling element bearing (REB) installation with a vibration sensor. The presented plug-in framework offers functionalities for vibration data management, feature extraction, fault detection, and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation. The framework was tested using bearing vibration data acquired from NASA’s prognostics data repository, and the evaluation included a run-through from feature extraction to fault detection to remaining useful life estimation. The plug-in implementations are easy to update and new implementations are easily deployable, even in run-time. The proposed software framework improves the performance, efficiency, and reliability of a tribotronic system. In addition, the framework facilitates the evaluation of the configuration complexity of the plug-in implementation. Keywords Software framework · Tribotronic system · Bearing diagnostics · Bearing prognostics · Vibration analysis 1 Introduction The term ’tribology’ was introduced and defined in The Jost Report [1] as "the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of the practices related hereto." It was reported that enormous amounts of resources were wasted because mechanical surface phenomena was ignored [2].

    Tribotronics Facilitates e-maintenance Implementation Sergei GLAVATSKIH1,2, Uday KUMAR3 1. Division of Machine Elements, Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden 2. Department of Mechanical construction and production, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium 3. Division of Operation & Maintenance Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden ABSTRACT Our modern society depends to a great extent on the functionality and efficiency of all the mechanical machinery that we see around us and use every day. All these machines involve numerous tribological contacts. A contact between two surfaces that are in motion relative to each other will result in friction and wear. A constant trend towards more compact mechanical systems with higher power densities requires them to operate in increasingly severe conditions, which heavily influence tribological contacts. They, in turn, affect machine efficiency and impose a limit on machine reliability and service life. Present tribological systems are passive, i.e. their performance cannot be tuned on-line. The purpose of tribotronics is to control so-called loss outputs in a tribo-mechanical system: friction, wear, vibration, etc. Such a system includes sensors, a control unit and actuators. A tribotronic system is thus autonomous and self-adjusting. This allows for on-line tuning of the tribological components for the best performance. This paper illustrates how tribotronic systems can facilitate e-maintenance and thus provide foundation for the best maintenance decisions. Keywords: active tribology, e-maintenance, condition monitoring 1. INTRODUCTION For too long maintenance has been considered as a minor element of strategic thinking by senior managers and yet for many companies the cost of maintenance will be around 40-60 % of the total production costs when direct and indirect costs of maintenance are taken into account.
