What is Tribology: Video Explanation According to Sciencedirect, tribology is a science that studies the friction and wear of machine components and mechanisms. The results of the scientific activity of tribologists relate to the phenomena […]
By Dr. Ameneh Schneider – Optimol Instruments GmbH and Dr. Mathias Woydt – MATRILUB Introduction Interest in special coatings and thin films for tribological applications increased rapidly in the last few decades, especially driven by […]
Do you want to travel from Utrecht to Lyon, from New York to Chicago, or from Mumbai to Bangalore within a reasonable time, cost, and environmental footprint? What about a reliable high-speed train? And what […]
‘Water’ being an abundant natural resource, can certainly be considered as a primary fluid in lubrication. As of now, most of the lubricants are petroleum-based because of their superior functionality compared to water-based lubricants(WBLs). Global […]
What is the link between a grain silo, a nylon sleeping bag and a flying helicopter? They can all accumulate triboelectric charges! The charges accumulate because the materials in relative motion are insulating materials (respectively […]
Grease definition The word grease is derived from an old French word “Graisse” meaning thick or fat. A grease is a solid to semi-solid product of suspension of thickener into a liquid lubricant. Grease composition […]
Lubrication between two surfaces depends on their respective co-efficient of frictions, surface finishes and also the type of lubricant used, if there is any. It is known that the temperature at which these surfaces are […]
It all started with a shaky washing machine. Pedro Reis, head of the Flexible Structures Laboratory at EPFL’s School of Engineering, rolled up a piece of fabric and placed it under the machine to stop […]
Electric vehicle technology has been considered as one of the most important upcoming technologies in the present world. There is most definitely a crucial reason for this consideration and this is not solely relying on […]
Tribology is a term used to define combination of friction, wear and lubrication. Tribology has been used in various fields to improve reliability and longevity of systems. Sports engineering applies engineering disciplines like mathematics, […]
