Tribological tests play an important role on the evaluation of long-term bio-tribological performances of prosthetic materials for commercial fabrication.Those tests focus on the motion simulation of a real joint in v...
Tribology plays an important role in engineering as well as in animal world and our daily life.Since the first introduction in 1970[1],bio-tribology has been widely researched.More recently green tribology has also re...
The application of tribological knowledge is not just restricted to optimizing mechanical and chemical engineering problems.In fact,effective solutions to friction and wear related questions can be found in our everyd...
