NORDTRIB 2018
NORDTRIB is an established platform for researchers and developers from universities, research institutes and industry to present their latest work and discuss topics related to tribology.
The conference covers fundamental and applied aspects of friction, wear and lubrication, at all scales. It will focus on promoting knowledge of tribological phenomena at small scales and their relation to the tribological performance and functionality of tools and components in all tribological applications. Contributions related to tribology in the global challenges of energy and sustainability are especially welcome.
NORDTRIB 2018 is hosted by the Ångström Tribomaterials group at Uppsala University. The conference venue is the main university building from 1887, in a convenient location in the city centre.
Topics
The conference topics include these areas; the list is not exhaustive so other areas of tribology are welcome:
- Sustainability and energy aspects of tribology
- Mechanisms of friction and wear
- Lubrication
- Industrial tribology
- Lubricated wear
- Coatings for tribology
- Wear resistant materials
- Polymer tribology
- Modelling in tribology
- Automotive tribology
- Rock tribology
- Tribology in electrical contacts
- Biotribology
- Surface texturing for tribology
- Everyday tribology
Programme
The conference runs from lunchtime on Monday 18th June 2018 until lunchtime on Thursday 21st June 2018. In the evenings there will be a welcome reception, opportunity for a tour of the town or Gustavianium, the university museum, and a conference dinner at Uppsala Castleon the final evening. The full programme is available on the NORDTRIB website.
