Research summary
AI-generated

Farshid Sadeghi's research focuses on the mechanical engineering of bearings and rolling contact surfaces, examining how lubrication, electrical currents, and hydrogen exposure affect wear, fatigue, and failure of metal components such as bearing steel. The work combines experimental test rigs, computational fluid dynamics simulations, and fatigue/damage modeling to understand phenomena like lubricant behavior, electric discharge damage, and rolling contact fatigue in bearings used in mechanical systems. This research is relevant to improving the durability and reliability of bearings in machinery, including applications like electric motors and high-speed rotating equipment.
