Seminar 2022

13th TWC International Wear Seminar
Tribological Challenges in Industrial Applications
May 24th 2022 at 12:00-16:15 (UTC+2, Finnish time)
Free online webinar

The webinar jointly organized by Tampere Wear Center and PerforMat network is dealing with interactions of tribological contacts and material behavior as well as condition monitoring. The first session is focusing on fretting induced friction, wear, and cracking. The second session is concentrating on condition monitoring of wind turbines as well as its component testing and lubrication. The main speakers are Professor David Nowell, Imperial College London, UK, and Dr Soha Baydoun, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France.

The webinar is free of charge and arranged on-line (Zoom). The participation link and the recording of the webinar will be sent for the registered participants.
