DESCRIPTION:In many engineering situations\, material surfaces are brought
  into contact and experience relative motion\, i.e. they form a tribologic
 al system.\n\nMastering tribological phenomena (friction\, lubrication and
  wear) is nowadays gaining special relevance due to concern for sustainabl
 e development. Indeed\, improved consideration of tribological principles 
 enables longer durability and reliability of devices\, more savings of ene
 rgy and resources and therefore more efficient use of materials\, equipmen
 t or infrastructures.\n\nThis course is intended to give participants (gra
 duates\, researchers and industrial professionals) a solid background in t
 ribology and surface interactions. It covers the fundamentals concepts of 
 tribology including surfaces\, contact mechanics\, friction\, lubrication 
 and wear\, the description of different techniques for multiscale wear ana
 lysis (experimental and computational) and application examples illustrati
 ng how to use the theoretical background in engineering practice. At the e
 nd of the course\, participants will have the tools to identify and to app
 roach tribological systems combined with appropriate material selection an
 d surface design.
