The "Introduction to Tribology" course provides a fundamental understanding of how surfaces interact in mechanical systems through the study of friction, wear and lubrication. Students will learn the essential theories behind surface roughness, contact mechanics, friction mechanisms, wear processes and lubrication regimes. The course combines lectures with calculation exercises and a laboratory demonstration to connect theory with practical applications. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify tribological problems and understand how material properties, stresses and lubrication influence the performance and lifetime of machine components.
