Colloquium Tribology

Location

Stuttgart / Ostfildern, Germany

Date

On 28.01.2020 to 30.01.2020

The conference provides an international exchange forum for the industry and the academia. Leading university researchers present their latest findings, and representatives of the industry inspire scientists to develop new solutions. Discussions and cooperations enable attendees to meet current tribological challenges.

For the 2020 conference one of the main topics is the forthcoming e-mobility technology, its various aspects and its consequences for the lubrication and tribology community. Additionally, this year we are actively soliciting for highly qualified papers dealing with applications of machine learning as well as artificial intelligence in lubrication, condition monitoring and material development.

Further details can be found here.

Bio-tribological Advancements in Modular Interface of a Joint Implant

30.01.2024

Introduction In daily activities, articulating interfaces undergo three-dimensional dynamic motion and loading, transmitting frictional forces to modular interfaces, causing fretting wear and corrosion. This phenomenon is observed in various artificial joints, including hips, knees, shoulders, [...]

Superlubricity of nanodiamonds glycerol colloidal solution

22.03.2016

Earlier we reported about superlubricity achieved with a mixture of water and 30 [wt%] glycerol by researchers from Tsinghua University, Beijing. The same investigators just published a paper using this as a base lubricant and [...]
How to better predict the minimum film thickness of elastohydrodynamic contacts?
