Tribology Wiki


Tribology Wikipedia has the same goal as the well-known Wikipedia: share knowledge from around the globe and create an encyclopedia accessible to anyone. Of course, Tribology Wiki has an emphasis in Tribology! Everyone is invited to read, write, edit and share Wikis. Please contact us via email if you would like to contribute an article or if you have any suggestions! You can create an article by going to Create New tab in any of the existing articles (you must be logged-in)
Friction of Materials
26.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction The friction of materials is an important property to be studied to understand its role in any mechanical applications. The tribological properties of any material are determined by its frictional behaviour, this behaviour will […]

Contact angle measurements
25.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction Wettability is a surface property of any material which is important to be studied to understand its affinity towards any liquid medium. Contact angle measurements are the way to understand wettability of the surface. […]

Adhesion: Definition, Theory and Types
21.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction Adhesion is one of the important material behavior to be considered to understand the influence of the interactions between the different materials in nature. This knowledge is also applied in case of the man-made […]

Coefficient of Friction derivation in Reciprocating Contacts
15.11.2022 Xavier Borras

Reciprocating contacts are common in many engineering applications, e.g., hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, crank-slider mechanisms (piston rings-cylinder), fretting vibrations, cyclic stresses, etc. The coefficient of friction in a reciprocating contact is usually detrimental when designing the component […]

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
14.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction The main goal of the spectroscopy techniques is to measure how much light is absorbed in each wavelength shined on any material. This is easily done by using the dispersive spectroscopic technique by shining […]

Transmission electron microscopy
14.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction The microscopic techniques for analyzing and characterizing materials have been developed and researched over the decades. The specifications of the microscopes such as the magnification and resolutions vary from one microscope to another which […]

Raman spectroscopy
09.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction The interaction of light on materials is very different it may be transmitted, reflected, or scattered; the wavelength of the light affects the interaction with materials in different colors. This study of light is […]

XRD – X-ray diffraction
06.11.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction Materials characterization ion is one of the important aspects of the material science field and there are various techniques for analyzing and identifying the material and its composition. One of the techniques which use […]

Wettability
31.10.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction Wetting is a very important property to understand the bonding and adherence strength of a solid surface or any two materials. The adhesive forces in the liquid help in spreading across a solid surface […]

Infrared spectroscopy
15.10.2022 Manoj Rajankunte Mahadeshwara

Introduction Infrared (IR) spectroscopy deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e., light having a longer wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light. Infrared light was discovered in the 19th century which […]
