INTERNATIONAL
SYMPOSIUMS ON TRIBO-FATIGUE
For
modern machines wear and fatigue became dangerous damaging phenomena: about
90% of failures are due to them.
By
the end of the last century it was realized that most critical units of any
machine are the ones which are called active systems, i.e. any mechanical
system that operates in the conditions of contact interaction of elements (during
sliding, rolling, fretting, etc.) by means of which active cycle load is
transmitted simultaneously. In these cases complex wear-fatigue damage of
materials takes place. Such systems and problems of their damage became the
main object of studies in Tribo-Fatigue - the science which emerged on the
verge of fatigue strength, tribology and the theory of reliability of mechanical systems.
Practically
the development of Tribo-Fatigue opens new ways for solving problems of
improving lifetime reliability of machines on main criteria of workability
with simultaneous reduction of labour, means and
material expenditure for their manufacture and operation.
Scope
The
joint discussion of new ideas by specialists in tribology, fatigue fracture
mechanics and Tribo-Fatigue will undoubtedly be a stimulus to further
development of investigations and to organizing the international
collaboration in this new and perspective field.
