Basics of Tribology and its Real-life Application

Tribology is an interdisciplinary field of science and technology dealing with Friction, Lubrication and Wear. It is applied in a multitude of fields ranging from lubes and greases to implants to food and beverages. This workshop covers the basics of tribology along with a brief introduction into different testing methodologies. It also includes case studies from real-life applications from different fields. This is then followed by a live demonstration of the instrument.

Key Takeaways:
- Basics of Tribology
- Instrumentation
- Test Methodologies
     -  Break-away Friction, Stribeck Curves, Wear Tests, etc.
- Real-life examples 
     -  Fuels 
     -  Lubes and Greases 
     -  Bio-Tribology
- Live Demonstration
