Tribology as an enabling science and technology has been instrumental in the rapid technological advances in the 20th century. All mechanical systems with moving parts rely on the principles of tribology for their design, operation, and maintenance. This short education course provides a quick overview of principles and applications of tribology. The course requires background in engineering or physical sciences, including basic courses in mathematics, applied mechanics, materials science, physics, and chemistry. At least a bachelor's degree in physical sciences (chemistry and physics) or in engineering (mechanical, materials, electrical, chemical) is required. The program is intended for those who need an appreciation of the tribology principles to solve practical problems that involve friction, wear and lubrication, or need this background information to interpret field or laboratory test results.
Location:
Tribology Frontiers Virtual Conference
Virtual Education Course
Sponsored by ASME Tribology Division
Instructors:
Dr. Said Jahanmir is the president and CEO of Boston Tribology Associates, an engineering consulting firm, and the assistant director for federal partnerships at the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office (AMNPO). Jahanmir received a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where his work in tribology (friction, lubrication and wear) led to a new theory for wear of materials based on the fundamental mechanics and physics of contacts. Jahanmir, an STLE and ASME Fellow, also served as the 2018-2019 ASME president. Jahanmir is a prominent technology leader with extensive scientific, technical, management and policy experience in the U.S. government, industry and academia.
