معرفی
Rikard Hjelm is a Lecturer in Machine Elements at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. His research focuses on tribological performance and non-exhaust emissions from machine elements such as gears and clutches. He employs both experimental and simulation approaches in his work.
- UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): His research contributes to SDGs like 'Responsible Consumption and Production' and 'Sustainable Cities and Communities'.
- Projects: Active in international projects including nPETS (Nanoparticle Emissions from the Transport Sector) and Effigears, funded by the European Commission and Swedish Government Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova), respectively.
His work explores the relationship between friction material composition and airborne wear particle emissions, with a particular emphasis on reducing environmental impact. Collaborations span national and international institutions, focusing on interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering and environmental science.
Rikard Hjelm's research outputs include studies on disc brake emissions, tyre and road wear particles, and gear efficiency analysis. His work addresses critical challenges in balancing laboratory testing with real-world conditions and understanding wear mechanisms in transportation systems.
