TriboNet

November, 10 2019

Location

Dakar, Senegal

Date

On 27.04.2020 to 29.04.2020

This 3^rd African Conference in Tribology will include a satellite forum on Biomechanics as a joint event.

Consequently, the program committee cordially invites research ideas in (but not limited to) the following suggested range of subjects:

African Conference in Tribology:

Tribology in transportation, tribology in industry, tribology in the space environment, tribology in energy production, nano-scale tribology, local and global contact measurements, multi-scale and multi-physics modeling in tribology, smart tribology, and others.

Satellite Forum on Biomechanics:

Bio-materials, bio-mechanics, bio-medicine, bio-robotics, bio-sensors, bio-fluids and heat transfer, and clinical investigations.

Imagine a new type of tyres whose structure has been designed to have greater adhesion on the road. Quite a timely discussion during the long winter nights. French physicists have now developed a model to [...]
Thin-Film Sensor for in Situ Measurement of Temperature Rise in Rolling Contacts

02.11.2021

The optimization of lubricated rolling contacts with regard to friction and wear is an engineering challenge due to the complex mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses in the surface near area. Calculation models are used to [...]
Insights to the tribology of toothpaste

02.01.2024

Texture is a commonly used term that encompasses the multi-dimensional sensory characteristics influenced by a material’s structure at both macro and micro-levels. Also, the rheology and surface properties of products that come into contact with [...]
Making Lubricants From Plastic Waste

30.03.2020

Single-use plastics have a bad reputation for contributing to the earth’s environmental and pollution issues. With the world’s ever-vigilant focus on protecting the environment, society is determined to halt the use of single-use plastics, such [...]

Reciprocating Sliding Friction and Wear test

10.04.2023

Friction and wear are two important factors affecting mechanical components’ performance and durability. Reciprocating sliding friction and wear tests evaluate the tribological properties of materials and coatings under simulated sliding conditions. These tests can provide [...]
