Tribology in Manufacturing

Catalog description

An introduction to system approach to Tribology; Surface Topography; Physical, Chemical, and Geometric Nature of Surfaces; and the Mechanics of contact between surfaces. This course also investigates various theories of friction and wear; hydrodynamic; elastohydrodynamic, and boundary lubrication; frictional instabilities; rolling contact problems; and application of system methodology to tribological problems in engineering design and manufacturing.
