Lubricant additives play a crucial role just like lubricants. Though they are primarily believed to be helpful in controlling absorption and dissociation behavior in lubricants, they also play a crucial role in reducing friction and […]
Introduction May it be a frozen fast food snack like pizza, or frozen meat like chicken wings, fish or veg items such as minced spinach, green pea or corn, we normally buy it from supermarket […]
Petrus van Musschenbroek, born in Leiden (Netherlands), was a famous scientist and inventor, natural philosopher, experimental physicist, engineer, instrument builder, experimenter, in the continental Newtonian tradition of Boerhaave and ‘s Gravesande. And: a tribologist. He […]
The EU funded project i-TRIBOMAT (Grant ID: 814494) launched last month an Open Call for Early Adopters. To promote their brand-new platform “i-TRIBOMAT: the European Tribology Centre”, the i-TRIBOMAT consortium offers their services free-of-charge. […]
Cancer is considered one of the deadliest diseases of our time. Countless researches are being conducted around the globe to find a cure for this disease. Apart from Doctors and Pharmacists, Engineers do have a […]
The article is sponsored by Bruker. Friction is the great obstacle to overcome when testing new products with moving parts. While friction can never disappear completely, it may be possible to achieve ultralow friction: a […]
The simulation app for mixed-EHL rolling-sliding line-contacts has been developed based on the capabilities of the Cam-Roller-Interface Tribotester (CRT-01) shown in Figure 1. The CRT-01 as well as the simulation app, allow the user to […]
A new breakthrough in lubricant formulation with special focus on use of lubricants which are developed for applications in confined spaces and requirements of low lubricant quantities. These lubricants are composed of non-magnetic solid particles […]
It might seem weird to talk about percolation through static seals in a Tribological context. After all, they are static: there is no rubbing, no tribos. However, there is much to learn about percolation through […]
It is estimated that about 30% of world’s primary energy is consumed by excessive friction every year and about 60% of machines fail or stop for maintenance due to frictional damage. Above that, 50% of […]
