Tribology, a word coined in the 1960s from the Greek “tribos” for “rubbing,” is the science of interacting surfaces in moving contact involving multi-disciplines of friction, lubrication, and wear. Tribological issues are frequently the underlying cause of a majority of mechanical equipment failures and degradation. Kalsi Engineering personnel have been supporting the industry by providing fundamentally sound tribological solutions to dynamic seal, bearing, and mechanical contact problems by analysis, testing, research, and development. Laboratory tests confirmed analytical predictions of lower friction coefficients obtained with a novel bearing designed for high load/high speed applications.

Capabilities • Hydrodynamic / elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis • Analytical modeling of metal-to-metal (hard) and elastomer/polymer-to-metal (soft) contacts by finite element analysis including material and geometrical nonlinearities • Subscale and full-size testing to evaluate performance and life of lubricated and unlubricated contacts • Friction, wear, and galling testing of components • Wear prediction modeling and accelerated wear testing to confirm predictions • Evaluation of lubricants, greases, surface treatments, and abrasive environments.

Introduction to Tribology is an interdisciplinary course for the tribology in design and manufacturing. The course introduces the nature of engineering surfaces, basic phenomena of interacting surfaces in relative motion, major modes of friction and wear, and popular theories of contact and lubrication.

For example, 'largest * in the world'. Search within a range of numbers Put. Between two numbers. For example, camera $50.$100. Combine searches Put 'OR' between each search query. For example, marathon OR race. This is one of over 2,200 courses on OCW.

As-salaam alaykum, I really liked this app until the last update, which included pictures of the Qaaris. The pictures serve no purpose whatsoever.
