Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Mechanical Engineering

Description:

Tribology and Contact Mechanics is an advanced design course that focuses on friction, wear and lubrication, with an emphasis on nanoscale phenomena. The course introduces traditional tribology and contact mechanics theory as well as hydrodynamic lubrication theory. Recent advances in tribology research are discussed and highlighted. Applications to illustrate the theory are chosen from the fields of computer mechanics (hard disk drives), micro-electromechanical systems, and orthopedics. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in ME EN 3000 AND (ME EN 3700 OR ME EN 3710) AND Full Major status in Mechanical Engineering.
