Summary

• Addition of Trimethylolopropane-esters of rapeseed oil's acid only slightly improves the lubricating properties of obtained in this manner mixture (improvement of the limiting pressure of seizure poz and scuffing load value Pt).
• All the investigated additives in a concentration of at least 1 % by weight improve the load-carrying capacity of semi-synthetic oils. The above additives with the exeption of Acorox 880 improve the limiting pressure of seizure poz. too. The introduction of the multifunctional Acorox 880 to the oil base does not influence on the poz, despite the improvement of Pt.
• The lubricity examination of the enriched composition with Acorox 880 proved that behaviour of the lubicant during scuffing initiation does not characterise its resistance to the seizure.

The objective of the society is to engage in all activities intended to promote in Europe the development of mechanics as a branch of science and engineering. Mechanics deals with motion, flow and deformation of matter, be it fluid or solid, under the action of applied forces, and with any associated phenomena.

The next European Fluid Mechanics Conference will be held in Toulouse (France) from August 24 to August 28, 2003. This conference, organised under the auspices of EUROMECH by the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse, will be the fifth in the series started in Cambridge in 1991 and continued in Warsaw (1994), Göttingen (1997) and Eindhoven (2000). The conference will cover the whole field of Fluid Dynamics, ranging from very fundamental aspects to recent applications. This conference will provide a unique opportunity for fluid dynamicists to see what is going on in this very active field in Europe and to exchange their views on recent developments. The conference will comprise invited lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions, and three mini-symposia dealing with selected topics. Selection of papers will be made on the basis of a one-page abstract. Following the general policy of EUROMECH Conferences, no proceedings will be published.

All correspondence can be directed to the EFMC2003 Conference Office.

Electronic registration and electronic submission of abstracts are strongly encouraged.
The use of fax and classic mail is restricted to persons for whom electronic means are not available.

The central theme of this conference is to highlight the transient aspects of the processes in tribology and to point out the differences obtained with the stationary conditions, be it experimental, analytical or numerical.

Papers are therefore invited from the fields of mechanics, material science and physico-chemistry that focus on the transient aspect of a particular phenomenon in friction, lubrication and wear.

Topics include:

Stick-slip behaviour, static and dynamic friction

Vibration, noise and tribological contacts

Operating conditions including acceleration/deceleration/impacts

Transient effects on material properties (for example lubricant rheology)

Reaction times of additives, third bodies

Different time scales of processes in tribology

The International Workshop on Surface Physics is intended to replace the International Seminar on Surface Physics that was organized by the Institute of Experimental Physics of the University of Wroclaw in the years 1976 - 2000. During the last few years it has become clear that the original formula of the Seminar, which was intended as a platform for exchange of ideas between the scientist from the "East" and "West", is exhausted.
We decided to switch the formula to a more typical workshop gathering surfacists, experimentalists and theoreticians, working on rapidly developing research field of surface science. The program of the Workshop is built around 10-12 invited talks presented by the world leader scientists. Certain number of contributed papers (10) will be selected for oral (20 min.) presentations and the other will be displayed as posters. Proceedings of the meeting will be published.
There will be ample time for discussion. Emphasis will be put on the creation of maximum opportunities for informal discussion and the facilitating of direct person-to-person exchanges of ideas about new developement. The idea is to encourage stronger contacts between the young scientists and the senior figures of various fields. There will be young scientists presentations.

The theme of the oncoming workshop will be:

Metals on Solid Surfaces

and will cover following topics:

· Surface topography
· Metallic nanostructures on surface
· Electronic structure and properties
· Interatomic interactions on surfaces
· Surface alloying and mixing

Up to date the following scientist have agreed to provide talks:
· Ernst Bauer (Tempe, USA)
· Harald Brune (Lausanne, Switzerland)
· Harald Ibach (Juelich, Germany)
· Mieczyslaw Jalochowski (Krakow, Poland)
· Bengt Lundqvist (Goeteborg, Sweden)
· Theodore Madey (Rutgers, USA)
· Vladimir Matolin (Prague, Czech Republic)
· Anton Naumovets (Kiev, Ukraine)
· Herbert Pfnuer (Hannover, Germany)
· Marek Szymonski (Cracow, Poland)
· Ugo Valbusa (Genova, Italy)
· Klaus Wandelt (Bonn, Germany)

The workshop is supposed to be a satellite meeting to the 22nd European Conference on Surface Science to be held in Prague, 7 - 12 September 2003. The format of the Workshop will be limited to about 100 - 120 participants. The venue of the Workshop will be Polanica Zdroj a small spa town located midway between Wroclaw and Prague (some 160 km from Prague), on the Polish side of the border.
