Course Overview
Tribology plays a vital role in the performance and durability of internal combustion engines, where countless moving parts interact under varying lubrication regimes. This course begins with the fundamentals of lubrication and wear, then dives into real-world applications across valvetrains, piston assemblies, cylinder liners, and bearings. Learners will gain practical insights into friction reduction strategies and measurement techniques that support engine optimization and innovation.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the fundamentals of tribology and how lubrication regimes affect engine components.
- Analyze friction and wear behavior in key engine systems such as valvetrains, pistons, and bearings.
- Apply tribological strategies to reduce friction and improve engine efficiency and reliability.
Who Should Attend?
- Mechanical and powertrain engineers focused on improving engine performance and durability.
- Engineering students and ICE researchers interested in the science of friction and lubrication.
- Technical professionals and managers seeking to reduce wear-related failures and enhance fuel economy.
