Webinar Series on the Fundamentals and Application of Tribology: Wear

This three-part webinar series will cover the fundamentals and application of Tribology. Speakers from Academia and Industry will cover the 3 major pillars of Tribology: Friction, Wear, and Lubrication. Each session looks to cover the fundamentals of the tribology pillar and industry case studies to outline realistic applications. The final session of the webinar series will feature a special case study on Tribology in the Orthopaedic industry.

This webinar series will be of particular benefit to early-stage career engineers across diverse industries whose educational background did not include Tribology, or those dealing with the subject for the first time.
