Tribology Research From Model Experiment to Industrial Problem A Century of Efforts in Mechanics, Materials Science and Physico-Chemistry Proceedings of the 27th lee

The 27th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology was held at the Institut National des Sciences Appliqu Ées de Lyon, 5-8 September 2000. The central theme was: 'Tribology Research: From Model Experiment to Industrial Problem: A century of efforts in mechanics, materials science and physico-chemistry'. To celebrate the Year 2000, the organisers tried to achieve two different goals. First, to bring together contributions from the three major scientific fields that make up the Tribological community: mechanics, physico-chemistry and materials science. The second goal was to attract contributions ranging from complex industrial problems to model experiments. The conference began with two keynote lectures, the first being a detailed technical lecture on the dynamic behaviour of an elastic shaft supported by hydrodynamic bearings. The second was an overview of first principles multi-scale modelling of physicochemical aspects of tribology. Both of these interesting lectures are included in the proceedings volume.Dalmaz, G. is the author of 'Tribology Research From Model Experiment to Industrial Problem A Century of Efforts in Mechanics, Materials Science and Physico-Chemistry Proceedings of the 27th lee', published 0011 under ISBN 9780444505811 and ISBN 0444505814.
