  2. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics , chemistry , materials science , mathematics , biology and engineering . [ 1 ]

  3. Tribometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribometer

    A tribotester is the general name given to a machine or device used to perform tests and simulations of wear, friction and lubrication which are the subject of the study of tribology. [ citation needed ] Often tribotesters are extremely specific in their function and are fabricated by manufacturers who desire to test and analyze the long-term ...

  4. Tribosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribosystem

    The complete description of a tribosystem is the first step when devising a tribological test procedure. Since tribological tests are often carried out on simplified model systems using standardized tribometers, a complete description of the tribosystem allows for tribological testing across different scales.

  5. Lubricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricity

    The lubricity of a substance is not a material property, and cannot be measured directly. Tests are performed to quantify a lubricant's performance for a specific system. This is often done by determining how much wear is caused to a surface by a given wear-inducing object in a given amount of time. Other factors such as surface size ...

    A syllabus based on the grammar or structure of a language; often part of the grammar translation method. Guided practice An intermediate stage in language practice - between "controlled practice" (q.v.) and "free practice" (q.v.) activities; this stage features allows for some creativity from the students.

  8. Tribocorrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribocorrosion

    The name tribocorrosion expresses the underlying disciplines of tribology and corrosion. Tribology is concerned with the study of friction, lubrication and wear (its name comes from the Greek "tribo" meaning to rub) and corrosion is concerned with the chemical and electrochemical interactions between a material, normally a metal, and its ...

  9. General Tests of English Language Proficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Tests_of_English...

    The test is a comprehensive English proficiency assessment to measure competence in grammar, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. It assesses general English language proficiency instead of focusing on merely academic or business contexts, with multiple-choice four-choice questions.
