Scientific program This multidisciplinary, third international conference will provide a forum for researches and practitioners to exchange information, present new developments, and discuss the future directions and priorities in the areas of tribological phenomena in non-conventional bearings. The Scientific Program will let participants share the most recent advances in research and practice of "tribology" through plenary and keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations. Contributions are invited in the following broad thematic areas:
1. Dry and boundary lubrication | 10. Surface characterization and surface coatings |
2. Fluid film lubrication | 11. Advanced tribomaterials |
3. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication | 12. Tribology of machine elements |
4. Fundamentals of friction and wear | 13. Maintenance tribology |
5. Surface and contact problems | 14. Tribology in extreme environments |
6. Rolling/sliding contacts | 15. Tribology in processing |
7. Lubricant rheology and chemistry | 16. Nano and microtribology |
8. Solid lubrication | 17. Biotribology |
9. Tribofailures | 18. Practical applications of friction and wear |
Publication and submission of abstracts
The proceedings of the Conference will be published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering.
Submissions will be selected on the basis of one-page abstracts. Participants wishing to enter their poster presentations, should indicate so in the lower right corner of the abstract. In the same location indicate the area, named in the Scientific Program, to which your contribution should be allocated. The abstract should contain the title of the presentation (Times 14 pts), the author(s)'s name(s) and their Social program
affiliation(s) including full mailing address, telephone and fax number, and e-mail address (Times 12 pts).
A number of social and tourist activities will be organized for participants and accompanying persons. A post-conference tour will also be organized provided there is sufficient interest.
Exhibition
An international exhibition of testing equipment and tribology related literature will be organized. Manufactures and publishers are invited to address their interest to the conference organizers.
