Tribology Deserves Strategic Attention
04.07.2022 David D Scott

The very nature of tribology makes it lean towards operational thinking in contrast to strategic thinking – it is one major reason tribology is absent in executive suites around the world. Operational thinking applies to […]

General Topics
Metal Forming and Tribology
13.06.2022 HARSHVARDHAN SINGH

Introduction Metal forming is a manufacturing process in which forces are applied on raw material such that stresses induced in the material are greater than yield stress and less than ultimate stress. The material experiences […]

Application of tribology in rock art
04.04.2022 HARSHVARDHAN SINGH

The quest to find some new interesting topic to write about tribology, ended few days back when I came across an image with a tag “ROCK TRIBOLOGY”. A few clicks here and there on Google […]

Computational Tribology
Selecting materials using machine learning
14.03.2022 Nikhil Kunapareddy

Corrosion as a phenomenon seems pretty common to us, yet it consume 6.2% GDP of the USA yearly. It is estimated that more than a whooping $270 billion dollars are spent in various ways to […]
