About

Scope: This digital tribology workshop will focus on current state-of-the-art data-driven modelling phenomena associated with friction, wear and lubrication applied to a wide range of tribological systems (bearings, gears, engines, etc.). Special emphasis will be placed on multi-sensing and multi- modality data fusion methods and the impact that these approaches will have in the future, particularly for tackling global challenges such as environmental issues and the move towards carbon-free energy.

Format: The workshop will consist of a series of invited presentations delivered by industry and academic leaders followed by round table discussions. A key objective of the meeting is to provide a forum for open discussions and for identifying current and future research opportunities/challenges in digital tribology, especially those arising from global societal and technological demands. Following the workshop, participants will be invited to contribute to a perspective paper that will be submitted to a leading tribology journal.
