The Fundamentals of Tribo-Sensing Course is essentially designed to give a better understanding of successful mechanism operations on all scales. The primary agenda of this course is to deliver insights into the principles of Tribology. The course offers sublime latitude to obtain an overview of the vast field of Tribo- Sensing. It will address the metrology & sensing techniques of tribology systems along with the core concepts and understanding of various tools. This program presents thorough insights into tribology focusing on such fundamental concepts as lubrication, traction, friction wear mechanisms, and surface engineering. This course provides a comprehensive and cost-effective overview of this vitally important area. Furthermore, Participants will get a comprehensive rundown of material behaviours and elementary properties. The course also considers the relationship between Machine Life, Reliability and Condition Monitoring. Advanced sensing technologies like electrostatic sensing, thick film sensing &fibre optic sensing will also be discussed. Basic knowledge to control friction and wear behavior through lubrication and the selections of material and coating in practical situations will also be discussed. Additionally, modern methods will be discussed together with various case studies to illustrate how the basics of tribology can be executed in the design components and systems. At the end of this course, the participants will have a solid understanding of basic tribology principles, test methods and will have acquired good practical knowledge for solving practical tribo-sensing problems. Entrants will attain a good set of cognition regarding tribo-sensing functions, procedures for testing the characteristics of the surfaces.
