Computational Tribology
Tribology at Work on the Strings
12.07.2017 TriboNet

There’s something about the moan and wail of a good gut-bucket slide guitar riff that can grab you by the innards and not let go. Any tribologist worth his salt is likely to have another […]

Space Fabric folded over

Elmer: An Open Source Finite Elements Software
29.06.2017 F. Xavier Borras

There are nowadays some Open Source Finite Elements packages available online, just to cite some: Calculix, Salome-Meca (with Code Aster), Z88 Aurora, Elmer, etc. The gap between the paid software (Ansys, Comsol, Abaqus, LS-DYNA,…) and the open source packages is still big, […]

General Topics
The correct lubricant: a practical guide to choose lubricating oil
02.06.2017 TriboNet

‘The correct lubricant’ covers basic practical information about lubricants in automotive and industrial areas. It is written for users of lubricants, giving only what is essential to know and useful for them. It could also […]

Atomistic Tribology
Triboelectricity to collect wave power
01.06.2017 TriboNet

Nature provides three sources of energy for free: sunlight, air and gravity. Solar and wind power are increasingly exploited, gravity less so. Hydraulic power plants harvest energy from flowing rivers. Tidal energy can be gathered […]
