An official STLE journal, Tribology Transactions, is published by Taylor and Francis [5] and the society is also affiliated with Tribology Letters, published by Springer. [6] The STLE also publish a monthly magazine, Tribology and Lubrication Technology. [7]
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 ]
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 ...
The Society for Tribology and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) has documented a large number of frictional, wear and lubrication tests. Standardized wear tests are used to create comparative material rankings for a specific set of test parameter as stipulated in the test description.
He also wrote several popular science articles on tribology topics in Scientific American. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] His seminal book " Friction and Wear of Materials " [ 12 ] was first published in 1965. [ 1 ] According to Google Scholar , his work has been cited on more than 10,000 occasions.
This is a list of organizations involved in research in or advocacy of tribology, the scientific and engineering discipline related to friction, lubrication and wear This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
