To remedy, the newly formed Committee on Tribology recommends the two-year-old term 'tribology.' It is defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and the practices related thereto. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of tribology. March 9, 2016, FOR ONE DAY ONLY, STLE is offering 50% off all previously recorded webinar from 2015 or earlier.
