The study of friction, lubrication and wear under the collective name Tribology has been an area of research in the School of Mechanical Engineering for over a century. As such, tribological research is extremely broad, covering basic, strategic and applied threads with both analytical and experimental contributions. The laboratory facilities are extensive, with many basic tribometers, bespoke simulation rigs and devices to test real applications supported by analytical instruments to characterise materials, surfaces and lubricants at the minute scales required for this discipline. Alongside this sit theoretical studies of the tribology of a wide range of engineering component systems to predict lubrication, friction and wear and simulate the complex interactions between lubrication, friction and wear during their lifetime.
