MANE 4700U – Introduction to Tribology: Friction, Wear and Lubrication


This course presents current insights into tribology, focusing on such fundamental concepts as surface properties and topology, wear mechanism, bearing failure modes, fluid lubrication and lubricant fabrication. This course introduces the theory and practice of friction, wear and lubrication in an industrial context. Furthermore, several procedures for determining tribological data are discussed and case studies in bearing failure modes are used to illustrate how fundamental tribology knowledge can be applied in the design of tribological components and systems.
