This course will provide the attendees with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of friction, lubrication and wear with focus on practical applications of tribology relevant to current industry. 

Course Description

The course emphasis is on aspects of Tribology relevant to the design and performance of machine components. We will cover the underlying principles and provide attendees with the background knowledge to analyse and solve tribological problems that they may meet in their daily practice.

The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, discussions and experimental laboratory sessions designed to assist the attendees in developing their ability to solve practical tribological problems ranging from tribological design of machine components, lubricant selection and testing to establishing root causes of tribological failures.
