Workshop: Fretting and Extreme Pressure
The high frequency and short amplitudes in fretting wear make it particularly dangerous due to its multitude of effects on materials. Fatigue can occur in lower loaded contacts, at higher loads wear debris is generated and transformations occur in the material. This...
Workshop: Surface Characterisation (with optical profiler and nanoindenter demo)
Characterisation of surface properties is essential to the fields of tribology and surface engineering. Many properties exist to define the roughness of surfaces and measurement of these properties can be a complex and time-consuming endeavour. Surface mechanical...
Mechanical characterisation of biological tissues
Indentation is a powerful technique that has been widely used for material characterisation of various materials. In this talk I will give some examples of how this technique has enabled us to unravel the mechanical properties of various biological tissues (bones and...
Workshop: Tribology – Wear and damage mechanisms (with tribometer and AFM demo)
Tribology is the study of friction, wear and lubrication and is a vitally important to many branches of industry. Wear is complex and typically consists of several mechanisms within a single tribological interaction. Understanding the type of wear allows for systems...
New insights in transition metal dichalcogenides coatings
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR Sputtered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) coatings have been extensively studied in last years for low friction applications. Their lamellar structure, when conveniently oriented in relation to the sliding direction, is in the basis of the...
Introduction to Surface Engineering (with nano-impact demo)
About This Workshop Surfaces are complex structures, and their interactions underpin a huge array of technologies. By modifying surfaces, engineering components can be augmented with enhanced properties or new ones not possible with a single bulk material. Surface...
Laser surface texturing: challenges and opportunities
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR Recent advancements in laser technology opened completely new areas of research and applications. Engineered surfaces by laser methods are particularly interesting for applications, which deal with friction and wear. Over the decades, many research...
Measuring the coupled electrochemical-mechanical behaviour of materials for making better batteries
About This Webinar With an increasing demand for higher energy and power density of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the coupled electrochemical-mechanical degradation of electrode materials becomes a more pressing problem. Inparticular, fracture and delamination of...
Virtual Experiments in Tribology
This talk will cover recent advances in modelling aspects of a variety of tribological problems and show how in-silico experiments can be used to shed light on various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena that affect tribological performance. The main themes...
