Biography

My research focuses on key components of renewable energy systems and efficient power generation equipment, particularly including sliding bearings such as radial bearings, thrust bearings, fixed and tilting bearings, water-lubricated and oil-lubricated bearings. During the research process, my interest include lubrication behavior under high loads, thermal-mechanical coupling, transient operating conditions, material degradation, and failure mechanisms in components such as steam turbine bearings, wind turbine gearboxes, compressors, pumps, and marine energy devices. At present, my work is dedicated to studying the influence of high-temperature creep damage of materials on the performance evolution of high-temperature heavy-load sliding bearings, as well as the impact of dynamic wear of bearing shells on the performance evolution of heavy-load low-speed sliding bearings.
