Seminars, Workshops and Conferences
February 17, 2004: Industrial Tribology seminar will be conducted by Prof. Kishore N. Mistry, a Visiting Professor at ISE/SAT. It will be held at 2.00 p.m., in room IE-115, Chalerm Prakiat Building.
Abstract
Tribology is the branch of science and technology concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion, friction, wear and lubrication. At a systems level, wear and friction result in a large number of mechanical failures. The phrase 'worn out' is very commonly used to describe the limit of part's working lifetime. The appropriate application of tribology can save considerable money by improving their lubrication practices.
The field of tribology is extremely diverse with challenges in many different areas of study including: materials science, fluid dynamics, contact mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer, chemistry, physics, controls,
surface characterization and many more.
Interested persons are welcome.
