Course Objectives /Scope

Tribology is a multi-disciplinary subject dealing with the study of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Over the years, the subject of Tribology came to be recognized as a very important aspect in all industrial operations. The application of correct tribological practices can protect and enhance the life of plants and machinery, improves efficiency of operations, reduce energy consumption and prevent expensive breakdowns.

The main motive of this workshop is to provide a common platform to researchers from industry, R & D organization and academic institutes, who are working on different mechanical systems to reduce friction and wear. The workshop shall bring together the tribology fraternity to explore, disseminate and strengthen initiatives in the area of improvements in tribology. It will make the researchers, academicians and post graduate students aware about the challenges in the field of Industrial Tribology. The participants of this 5-days International workshop will be able to learn the recent advancements and research avenues in the field of tribology. This workshop will be a great opportunity for networking with eminent personalities and researchers in the field of tribology.
