Call For Papers | |||||||||||
The conference will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progression in recent decades. Special sessions will concentrate on wear of tools and tooling materials, hot and cold erosion (droplet, solid and cavity-based erosion), wear of brake/frictional materials, marine wear systems, role of third bodies during wear, and surface texturing for wear reduction.
Conference Topics: Abstract Submission Deadline: 27 May 2016 Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics. Sliding Wear Fretting Wear Impact Wear Abrasive Wear Elevated Temperature Wear Lubricated Wear Thick and Thin Coatings Wheel/Rail Contact Modeling and Simulation Biotribology – hard materials Biotribology – soft materials Polymers and PMCs Ceramics and CMCs Metals and MMCs Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion Wear Testing and Monitoring Friction Materials including Brakes Wear of Tools and Tooling Materials Role of Third Bodies during Wear Surface Texturing Marine Wear Systems Others (not listed above) Three types of presentations are invited: (1) full-length research-quality papers that involve materials aspects of wear and wear analysis based on carefully-designed experiments, modeling and understanding wear mechanisms, surface damage characterization, and novel materials and coatings for friction and wear mitigation (2) case studies that describe effective engineering solutions to practical wear problems or the development of useful, new wear testing methods (3) engaging posters that address a specific tribological topic that has academic or industrial relevance to WOM attendees and the greater tribology community. |
