09. 50 Uhr       Prof. H. Störi und Prof. W. S. M. Werner
Institut f. Allgem. Physik, TU Wien, A
Elektronenspektroskopie tribologischer Oberflächen
Elektronenspekroskopie ist besonders geeignet, extrem dünne Schichten und kleine Bereiche an Oberflächen zu analysieren. Im Hinblick auf die Anwendungen im AC˛ T werden die Methoden Augerelektronen- Spektroskopie (AES) und Photoelektronen- Spektroskopie (XPS, ESCA) anhand einiger Beispiele vorgestellt. Vorteile, Begrenzungen und alternative Methoden werden diskutiert.

10.10 Uhr       Dr. P. Kelman, Dipl.- Ing. G. Zehethofer
AC˛ T, Wr. Neustadt, A
Einsatz der Metallographie u. Rasterelektronenmikroskopie in der tribologischen Schadensanalyse von Oberflächen
Um die Schadensursache defekter technischer Systeme bestimmen zu können, bedient sich der Schadensanalytiker verschiedener Auswertungen. Die Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Metallographie und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie werden anhand metallographischer Gefügeaufnahmen und Rasterelektronenbildern erläutert.

10. 30 Uhr       Dr. A. Neuhaus
AC˛ T, Wr. Neustadt, A
Kinetik und Tribologie von elektromechanischen Schaltkontakten
Kinetische und Tribologische Parameter sind entscheidend für das Schaltverhalten und die Lebensdauer elektromechanischer Schaltkontakte (Relais, Mikroschalter etc.). Die Kinetikparameter müssen dabei im Hinblick auf das Verschweißen und die Materialwanderung einzeln untersucht werden. Zur Interpretation wurden zum Teil mathematisch/ mechanische Modelle herangezogen welche eine schlüssige Erklärung der Messergebnisse ermöglichen.

10.50 Uhr       Kaffeepause

11.10 Uhr       Dr. G. Preisinger
SKF Österreich AG, Steyr, A
Elektroerosion im geschmierten Kontakt zwischen Wälzkörper und Laufbahnen
Stromdurchgang in der Kontaktzone zwischen Wälzkörper und der Innen- und Außenringlaufbahn kann unter anderem Schmelzkrater (Elektroerosion) entstehen lassen. Teile des Kraterrandes brechen aus, werden überrollt und verschmutzen den Schmierstoff. Eine stark reduzierte Schmierstoffgebrauchsdauer oder sogar der kompletten Ausfall des Tribosystems „Wälzlager“ ist die Folge.

11.30 Uhr       Dipl.- Ing N. Dörr, Doz. Dr. A. Ecker
ARC Seibersdorf, A
Schwefelverbindungen in Kraft- u. Schmierstoffen
Der Schwefelgehalt in Otto- und Dieselkraftstoffen wurde in den letzten Jahrzehnten stetig verringert. Diese Entwicklung ist auf die Forderung nach Umweltschutz einerseits und die steigenden Ansprüche an Motor und Katalysator andererseits zurückzuführen. Im Gegensatz dazu stellen Schwefelverbindungen wichtige Komponenten in Schmierstoffen dar, wo sie unter anderen als Verschleißschutz und Extreme- Pressure- Additive eingesetzt werden. Die Wirkung von Schwefelverbindungen in Kraft- und Schmierstoffen wird diskutiert.

11.45 Uhr       Dipl.- Ing. E. Kenesey, Doz. Dr. A. Ecker

ARC Seibersdorf, A
Sauerstoffverbindungen in Kraft- u. Schmierstoffen
Sauerstoff ist in Kraft- und Schmierstoffen sowohl in gelöster Form als auch durch gezielt zugesetzte Sauerstoffverbindungen vertreten. Aufgrund der strengen Vorschriften für Kraftstoffe ist die Zugabe von Lubricity- Additiven zu Dieselkraftstoff notwendig geworden, um die erforderliche Schmierfähigkeit zu gewährleisten. Dafür eignen sich insbesondere sauerstoffhaltige Verbindungen. In Schmierstoffen sind Sauerstoffverbindungen in Basisölen und Additiven wie z. B. Antioxidantien und Friction Modifier enthalten.

12.00- 13.30 Uhr Mittagspause / Buffet

Tribologische Untersuchungen biologisch verträglicher Schmierstoffe - Teil 1
Eine zentrale Fragestellung bei der tribologischen Untersuchung mit Modellkörpern ist die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse in die Praxis. Zur Beurteilung biologisch verträglicher Schmierstoffe wurden mehrere Untersuchungsmethoden, welche unterschiedlichen Belastungssituationen in der Praxis entsprechen, ausgewählt und die Verwendbarkeit der Methoden für derartige Schmierstoffe untersucht.

13.45 Uhr       Prof. C. Kajdas, Dr. A. Pauschitz, Prof. F. Franek
TU Warschau, PL, IMFT TU- Wien, A,
Tribologische Untersuchungen biologisch verträglicher Schmierstoffe - Teil 2
Die Forderung nach biologisch und physiologisch einwandfreien Schmierstoffen fordert die Suche nach neuen Additiven. Die Leistungsfähigkeit unterschiedlicher Schmierstoffe mit biologisch verträglichen Additiven und die dabei auftretenden tribochemische Effekte wurden ermittelt.

14.00 Uhr       Prof. Dr. B. Jakoby
Institut für Industrielle Elektronik & Materialwissenschaft, TU Wien, A
Online- Ölzustandsüberwachung für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen
Die Überwachung des Motorölzustandes in Verbrennungskraftmaschinen (z. B. in Kraftfahrzeugen) erlaubt die Realisierung vergrößerter Ölwechselintervalle. Dies bringt sowohl ökonomische als auch ökologische Vorteile. Überdies kann man durch die direkte Überwachung des Ölzustandes Rückschlüsse auf den momentanen Zustand des Motors ziehen was die frühzeitige Erkennung von möglichen Motorschäden unterstützt. In diesem Beitrag werden die Anforderungen an die zugrundeliegende Sensorik sowie der entsprechende Stand der Technik diskutiert.

14. 20 Uhr       Dr. A. Merstallinger
ARC Seibersdorf research GmbH, Seibersdorf,
A Tribologische Werkstoffe in spezieller Umgebung (Vakuum)
In ungeschmierten Tribosystemen, in spezieller Umgebung, sind die Bildung von Reaktions- und Transferschichten, letztere v. a. zur Schmierung, von essentieller Bedeutung. Der Begriff „Spezielle Umgebungen“ umfasst neben Trockengleitreibung in Gasen (feuchte und trockene Luft, Stickstoff, Edelgase, etc.) auch Vakuum und einen Temperaturbereich von –100° C bis etwa +300° C. Es gibt eine kurze Vorstellung der Messmethodik und einige Anforderungen für Polymerwerkstoffe (basierend auf Polyimid).

14.40       Uhr Dr. Manish Roy
IMFT, TU- Wien,
A Influence of counter face material on elevated temperature wear of thermal sprayed nanocrystalline Cr3C2 -25( Ni20Cr) coating
Thermal sprayed Cr3C2 -25( Ni20Cr) coating showed promising performance under sliding wear particularly at elevated temperature, because of the ability at high temperature, formation of Cr2O3 scale and its ability to retain its strength at elevated temperature. The objective of the presented work was to investigate the effect of different counter face material on the elevated temperature wear of such coating.

FUELS

The requirements on fuels for internal combustion engines and on heating fuels are governed by the following aspects:

    - Engine or burner type,
    - Engine performance,
    - Environment protection needs,
    - Legislative requirements,
    - Fuel sources and resources.
The importance of these points varies in different areas and countries. As a matter of fact, however, the requirements on the chemical, physical, and technological properties of fuels will increase worldwide. In the course of this development, a conflict will arise between the requirements of the engines and the expectations regarding the protection of the environment. Consequently, we will be forced to establish a balance between the various demands. This balance can only be achieved by international cooperation of the engine manufacturers, the mineral oil industry, and the legislative bodies.

Therefore, this international colloquium aims at contributing to the solution of these problems by the exchange of ideas and the discussion on all aspects connected with the system 'engine/fuel environment'.

INTRODUCTION
About twenty years ago a new paradigm - a concept of structural levels of deformation of solids - was formulated. Over the past years this concept has been treated theoretically and tested experimentally. This gave rise to the development of a new scientific trend - Physical Mesomechanics, which allows one to relate mechanics of the solids under loading to the physics of plasticity and strength.
Physical Mesomechanics considers solids under loading as a multilevel self-organized system where shear stability loss occurs in a self-consistent way at micro-, meso- and macroscale levels. A basic act of plastic flow is "shear+rotation". It gives rise to dissipative mesostructures and fragmentation of solids at the mesolevel. Fracture is the final stage of fragmentation of solids where its global shear stability loss occurs at the macrolevel. In last ten years a large body of experimental and theoretical research of behavior of solids under loading were done at micro-, meso- and macroscale levels. The results of these investigations allow one to refine understanding of the mechanisms of deformation and fracture of solids in various conditions of loading.
Physical Mesomechanics was the topic of several international conferences took place in Russia, Israel, Germany, China and Denmark.

SCOPE

The Workshop is intended for discussion of fundamental features and engineering applications of Physical Mesomechanics.
Application of the methods of Physical Mesomechanics to the problems of heterogeneous material response to different loading, fatigue and wear; nondestructive testing, experimental and computational methods, hardening and reconditioning technologies, materials for electronics will be in the focus of the Workshop. A special session will be devoted to geodynamics.
There will be Plenary sessions including key-note lectures. Round table and poster sessions will also be organized.

August 24-28, 2003 The European Mechanics Society is an international non-governmental non-profit scientific organisation.

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.

Letter of the Chairman

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.

International Workshop on Surface Physics
Location and Time: Polanica Zdroj, Poland, September 13 - 15, 2003

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.

9 International Conference
on Metrology and Properties of Engineering Surfaces

Halmstad, Sweden
10-11 September 2003
E-mail surfconf @ set.hh.se

Introduction

This is the ninth in the very successful series of conferences which have firmiy established surface topography as a new and exciting interdisciplinary field of scientific and technological studies. Recent advances in measurement techniques have extended the scope of roughness measurements to much smaller scales and many new results wait to be reported. On the other hand, the methodology and techniques of roughness measurement and characterisation have been extended to quite different fields of technological application with fascinating results.

Scope

The measurement, characterisation and analysis of surface roughness on any scale. This is to include experimental, theoretical and computational work. Conference subjects will include: Bioengineering; Nano surfaces; Surface measurements; Instrumentation; Topological characterisation of surfaces; Tribology; Industrial applications; Optical surfaces. There will be a special emphasis this year on applications of 3D measurement.

Aims

The aims of the Conference are as before, to bring together practising engineers and research workers in a forum where the latest work can be reported, and where the progress made since the last Conference can be discussed and assimilated so that its benefits may be transferred to industry and to scientists and engineers in other disciplines.

Exhibition/

It is planned to hold an exhibition of surface measuring equipment in conjunction with the Conference and on the same site. Organisations interested in exhibiting should contact the Conference Secretary for further details.

Workshop

There will be a one-day tutorial workshop on the preconference day on the theory and practice of surface roughness, with the opportunity for hands-on use of the latest measuring instruments.

Venue

The conference will be organised this year by Halmstad University, currently one of Sweden's leading centres for research in surface topography. This is oniy the second time that the Conference has been heid at a continental European venue and it will be an excellent opportunity for oyerseas visitors to experience traditional Swedish hospitality in beautiful Halmstad, one of the most popular seaside holiday resorts in northern Europe. The actual conference venue will be the Hotel Tylosand, in a spectacular beach setting with extensive leisure facilities which will be available to delegates.

Offers of Papers

Potential authors should forward titles and extended abstracts to the Conference Secretary by 1 ApriI 2003. These should be not longer than two A4 sides and should include the authors' names and affiliations. Papers selected for presentation, either in formal sessions or as posters, need not be submitted in their final form till the date of the conference. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be given detailed instructions for the preparation of manuscripts or posters. Abstracts and papers should be submitted by email to surfconf0>set.hh.se. Up-to-date information about the Conference will be available on the Conference home page at www.capaximp.demon.co.uk

The Organising Committee apologises for the short notice of this announcement. The 9th Conference was originally planned to take place at Miskolc in Hungary in ApriI 2003, but unfortunately circumstances have necessitated its postponement. Anyone who submitted an abstract for the Hungary meeting is warmiy invited to resubmit it to Halmstad. Priority will be given to any such resubmissions.

Where else can you talk to your top customers and prospects, face to face?

I encourage your company to participate as an exhibitor at our second ASM Intemational Surface Engineering Congress and Exposition, September 15-18 in Indianapolis. There is no other event like it - and no more cost effective way to talk to your customers and prospects during 2003.

Last year, ASM's combined events in Columbus, Ohio drew more than 2,800 registrants, with nearly 600 attracted by our first-ever surface engineering event.

This year, we expect a combined exposition attendance of 7,000 for our second ASM Surface Engineering Exposition, which will be co-located with the ASM Heat Treating Society Conference and Exposition and the North American Die Casting Association Exposition.

To attract more attendees who are interested in industrial applications, we're planning some exciting new features^ For example, as a strong value-added feature, we're going to hold a free one-day seminar, "Applied Surface Treatments for Industry: Choices and Practical Applications." With technical talks presented by industrial experts, this session will attract engineers, manufacturing engineers, materials engineers and quality control personnel.

The enclosed prospectus will tell you more about THE surface engineering business show. To reserve your exhibit, please contact Charles A. Dec at 440/338-1733, or by e-mail at cdec @ asmintemational.org. We look forward to helping you reach the decision makers YOU want to reach.

A unique business and educational opportunity for the surface engineering marketplace, from the world leader in metals and materials information.

ASM The Materials
Information Society

Since 1913, ASM has been the world's foremost society for providing reliable technical information on metals and metallurgy, and surface engineering remains an area of high member interest.

Nearly 20,000 ASM members and customers are involved with surface engineering or modification. To meet their need for information about practical industrial applications of surface engineering, we've created a unique event that no other sponsoring organization can match.

International Surface Engineering Congress and Exposition

To promote the commercial advance of surface engineering technology and to increase surface engineering marketing opportunities for our exhibitors, ASM will co-locate its 2nd International Surface Engineering Congress and Exposition with America's largest heat treating show, the ASM Heat Treating Society Conference and Exposition.

While other events focus on the science of surface engineering, ASM brings together the PRACTICAL applications, the underlying science - and the BUSINESS of surface engineering.

Attention:

Analytical equipment and techniques

are keys to the successful application of
surface engineering.

For many decades, manufacturers of equipment used for testing, analysis and characterization have represented one of the largest groups of exhibitors at ASM expositions. Our expositions in Indianapolis will again attract a large numberof engineers and managers who are interested in improving quality, improving product and equipment performance, reducing wear and corrosion and extending product life.

Our surface engineering attendees
are looking for new equipment and technology.

    Nanomechanics: Sensors and Actuators

    May 18-19, 2004
    Reno, Nevada Courtesy of A. Majumdar and K. Hsu
    On behalf on the University of Nevada, Reno, we wish to welcome you to a nanotechnology conference on May 18-19, 2004 in Reno, NV titled "Nanomechanics: Sensors and Actuators." Reno is known as the "Biggest Little City in the World," making it the perfect place to host the biggest conference on little technology.

    Through investigation, we have established two needs. One need is to provide a forum to educate our fellow engineers in nanotechnology. The second need is to provide a forum for researchers and industrial partners to share information. We propose to fulfill these needs by developing a conference which will have a one day training program on nanomechanics and a one day program to highlight new developments. Nanomechanics is the design, fabrication, and use of structures and devices, both organic and inorganic, with motion or dimensions measured in nanometers. The specific focus of this year's conference will build on and celebrate the 10-year anniversary of molecular recognition with micro- and nanocantilevers and will include the pioneers and world experts of the field presenting the latest results and future possibilities.

    It is no wonder that more than 300,000 people make the Reno-Tahoe area their home and why 5.1 million people visit every year. A chain of high-peaked mountains surround the region in every direction. The geography ranges from high desert hills to valleys covered with deciduous and evergreen trees. A river flows casually through the heart of the city among an eclectic mix of stately manors, quaint churches, sleek high rises, city parks, and casinos. Shopping malls and new residential developments canvas the city limits and are nestled against mountains that offer endless outdoor recreation, and cradle the magnificent Lake Tahoe.

    In addition to the area's spectacular beauty, Reno-Tahoe offers an extraordinary mix of history and culture, world-class ski and golf resorts, 24-hour gaming and entertainment, a mild climate with four distinct seasons, a healthy, diverse economy, and community spirit as strong as ever.

    Nano Training Bootcamp

    Nano Training Bootcamp

    June 29 - July 2, 2004
    Northwestern University
    Evanston, IL, USA
    Touted as the most ambitious national research topic since the Sputnik days, Nanotechnology has spurred considerable national and international interest across many walks of life - from ordinary citizens to politicians, and from scientists to engineers. Remarkable advances have been made in the last decade in the science of nanoscale structures, exotic nano-phenomena and proof-of-concept device systems. However, in order to truly harness the great potential of "nano-somethings", it is absolutely imperative to translate advances in "Nanoscience" into viable "Nanotechnology". That bridge between Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is undoubtedly "Nanoengineering" which holds the key to successful development of various Nanotechnologies - from novel paradigms in electronics, mechanics to biodiagnostics and therapeutics, just to name a few.

    The ASME Nano Training Bootcamp is specifically organized to offer a detailed and tutorial-based account of advances in fundamentals related to Nanoscience in a wide variety of fields, and prospects for translating these advances into useful Nanotechnologies. The participants will be challenged with open-ended questions and opportunities in engineering nanosystems. Given by experts in academia and industry, the ASME Nano Training Bootcamp will provide intense sessions on characterization, solids and devices, societal impact, and fluids/synthesis/devices. Participants will enjoy not only extensive and interactive coverage of significant topics in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology but will also be offered a broad overview of instrumentation, techniques and facilities essential to complement classroom lectures.

    Komunikat Nr 2

    Gdańsk, 20.04.2004

    Ze względu na dużą ilość osób chętnych do zaprezentowania wyników swoich prac w czasie konferencji, Komitet Organizacyjny zmuszony został do poczynienia pewnych zmian w uprzednio planowanym programie. Nie mamy w trakcie tak krótkiej imprezy możliwości zapewnienia wszystkim chętnym czasu do bezpośredniej prezentacji referatów. Zdecydowaliśmy się więc na zorganizowanie kilku sesji tematycznych oraz sesji plakatowych. Ponadto zakładamy prezentację przez jednego autora jednego referatu, w wyjątkowych przypadkach dwóch. Decyzję w tej sprawie podejmie Komitet Naukowy. Wszystkie referaty, zakwalifikowane przez recenzentów, zostaną opublikowane w czasopismach ZAGADNIENIA EKSPLOATACJI MASZYN, TRIBOLOGIA oraz PROBLEMY EKSPLOATACJI.
    Przewiduje się wygłoszenie referatów problemowych wybranych przez Komitet Naukowy.
    W załączeniu przesyłamy instrukcję dla Autorów dotyczącą sposobu przygotowania materiałów do publikacji. Prosimy o przestrzeganie terminu ich nadsyłania na adres sekretariatu podany w stopce.
    Komitet Organizacyjny zastrzega sobie prawo nie przyjęcia referatów przygotowanych niezgodnie z instrukcją.

     

    Jednocześnie przypominamy o ważniejszych terminach:

        Cele i problematyka

        Konferencje z cyklu: SZKOŁY TRIBOLOGICZNE i INŻYNIERIA ŁOŻYSKOWANIA przez wiele lat funkcjonowały w środowisku jako niezależne imprezy naukowo - techniczne. W trakcie dyskusji prowadzonych w ramach Sekcji Podstaw Eksploatacji KBM PAN coraz częściej wysuwane były postulaty połączenia merytorycznego i organizacyjnego obu tych imprez. Postulaty te postanowiono urzeczywistnić w 2004 roku łącząc Szkołę Tribologiczną z Inżynierią Łożyskowania z zachowaniem jednakże pewnych specyficznych odrębności obu imprez. Tak powstała nowa Konferencja, w której tytule zachowane zostały tradycyjne nazwy dotychczasowych imprez, do których być może uczestnicy już się przyzwyczaili.

        Organizatorzy wyrażają nadzieję, że powyższe połączenie, poza oczywistymi oszczędnościami ekonomicznymi i "odciążeniem" terminarza imprez naukowych, przyniesie korzyści w postaci integracji środowiska i zespolenia wysiłków wokół wspólnych przecież celów.

        Stały postęp w rozwoju technologii i tym samym we wprowadzaniu nowych materiałów, nowych metod badawczych i diagnostycznych, nowych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych w tribologii i inżynierii łożyskowania stwarza potrzebę cyklicznych spotkań dla wymiany poglądów i informacji.

        Podczas konferencji będzie możliwość prezentowania osiągnięć nauki i techniki w referatach plenarnych, sesyjnych i sesjach plakatowych, a także przy stoiskach firm wytwarzających łożyska i ich elementy, materiały łożyskowe, środki smarowe, uszczelnienia i inne środki oraz elementy związane z łożyskowaniem i szeroko pojętą tribologią.

          Tematyka konferencji obejmować będzie:

        • analizę procesów tribologicznych i metodykę prowadzenia badań,
        • diagnostykę węzłów łożyskowych, metody monitorowania ich stanu w aspekcie stanów granicznych, montaż i eksploatację łożysk,
        • projektowanie układów łożyskowych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dynamiki maszyn wirnikowych, odkształceń i przemieszczeń gniazd łożyskowych itp.,
        • badania właściwości łożysk, materiałów łożyskowych, substancji smarowych, uszczelnień ruchowych, środków i technologii regeneracji węzłów ruchowych,
        • tribologię w zakresie tarcia technicznie suchego, mieszanego i płynnego,
        • aspekty ekologiczne inżynierii łożyskowania,
        • nowe metody i technologie w inżynierii łożyskowania,
        • problemy mikro i nanotribologii,
        • problemy biotribologii,
        • inne procesy tribologiczne, w tym w ekstremalnych warunkach,
        • współczesne wyzwania tribologii w aspekcie procesów integracyjnych w poszczególnych dyscyplinach naukowych i współpracy międzynarodowej po przystąpieniu Polski do Unii Europejskiej

    "Best Available Techniques" • für die Oberflächenbehandlung.
    Die Galvanotechnik, einerseits Schlüsseltechnologie, andererseits "klein strukturiert", ist herausgefordert. Nach IPPC - Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control - Directive 96/61/EC, wird soeben das "BREF" zur Besten-verfügbaren Technik fertig geschrieben. Eine Chance für die Branchenteilnehmer, die sich aktiv um ein professionelles Management und stabile Prozesse kümmern. Veraltete Verfahrensabläufe werden verschwinden. Mittelfristig. Anlagen erneuern, oder gar ersetzen, kostet Geld. Und was nützt dies alles dem Kunden, der es bezahlen muss?

    General Information

    Micro- and Nano-Technology up to now is rather poorly understood and developed. Nevertheless there are many future-orientated efforts all over the world in order to increase pertinent knowledge. This has not only fundamental importance, but, offers moreover an immense range of practical applications. Accordingly, Micro- and Nano-Technology has become a rapidly growing field.

    It is the aim of this conference to address the main aspects of Micro- and Nano Technology with specific focus on the following nanotechnology issues:

    • PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL FUNDAMENTALS
    • NANO-MATERIALS
    • NANO-ENGINEERING AND -APPLICATIONS
    • NANO-TRIBOLOGY
    • MEASUREMENTS IN THE NANO-RANGE
    Nanomaterials show significantly different mechanical properties. Material strength, scratch hardness as well as friction and wear are strongly influenced by the nanostructure. In addition, in the presence of gaseous or liquid media (e.g. lubricants) the material properties vary considerably. The near-surface volume changes due to mechanical activation chemistry. Engineering in this field has to consider these sometimes sophisticated facts and implement them into the many practical applications, ranging from precision systems to precision surface engineering, tribological systems, medical, respectively therapeutic devices, micro¬ and actuator systems, and others.

    Experts from above and other fields are invited to present their research results as well as corresponding applications and to exchange ideas and discuss them with other colleagues working in different fields of research and application.

    About the New West Lake in Hangzhou

    The West Lake, located in the west of Hangzhou, has eulogized poems, paintings, myths and legends which have been enjoyed by Chinese as well as foreigners for centuries. There is rock-engraved calligraphy on a scenery hill standing in the West Lake, which says: "Where else in the world that can boast such a wonderful place?" Most Chinese are familiar with the popular saying which has been handed down for generations: "In the heaven there is paradise, on the earth there are Hangzhou and Suzhou". Since last year, having an elaborate remedy, the West Lake appears more beautiful with twice tour area than before. And all its beauty spots are opened to the public.

    Session Chair: Paul Warren, Pilkington, and Jolanta E. Klemm-Sapieha, Ecolse Polytechnique, Montreal, Canada

    Mechanical behavior of optical films is essential for their reliable functional performance; this includes adhesion to different technologically important substrates, including polymers, residual stress, scratch-, wear- and abrasion resistance, hardness and other elasto-plastic properties. The mechanical characteristics are strongly affected by the film fabrication conditions, and there exist numerous testing methods. Frequently, only qualitative or semi quantitative results are available, a fact which makes the comparisons of data from different laboratories difficult. Papers describing mechanical characterization techniques suitable for optical films in various applications, film stability measurements and aging studies in different environments, performance of optical coatings on plastic substrates, and the effect of interfaces and film microstructure are particularly sought.

    SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

    The long-standing co-operation between AIM - Associazione Italiana di Metallurgia - and the IFHTSE - International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering - has already led to the joint organisation of significant events, such as the Congresses held in Florence in 1982 and in 1998.

    Now, our joint resources will be focused on the organisation of a conference that will deal with innovation in heat treatment, with special reference to automotive applications.
    In 2003, IFHTSE, in collaboration with MTEC (National Metal and Materials technology Center in Bangkok - Thailand) held a very successful conference on this topic, addressed primarily to Asia-Pacific interests. Against the background of an intensely competitive and continuously evolving market, it is now opportune to organise an event in more specifically addressed to the European scene.

    Therefore, in June 2005, in Riva del Garda (Italy), we will gather together contract heat treaters (not only of components but also of metal and plastic dies, punches, tools and auxiliary materials), engineering component manufacturers, producers of components with captive heat treatment facilities and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers along with production and design staff from the automotive world (passenger cars, trucks and buses, motorcycle, off-road vehicles, construction machines and earthmovers) for an information exchange and update on innovations, trends and developments in the field.

    TOPIC GUIDLINES

    • Metals and heat treatment process for the automotive industry
    • Carburising processes
    • Nitriding and nitrocarburising processes
    • Vacuum processes for dies, tools and components
    • PVD, PVC, plasma, multilayer coatings
    • Mechanical surface modification
    • Bulk heat treatment
    • Heat treatment process control
    • Environmental impact of heat treatment
    • Surface hardening by phase transformation
    • Mechanical properties and automotive applications
    • Innovations in automotive requirements
    • Heat treatment and vehicle end-of-life European

      Directive 2000/53

    CONFERENCE VENUE

    The conference will be held at the Palacongressi in Riva del Garda. Riva is one of Lake Garda's best known resorts and is beautifully situated between the Brione and Rochetta mountains on the northern tip of the lake. The resort enjoys a mild climate ahd has a luxuriant vegetation of palms, oleanders and magnolias which you can admire as you wander along the lakeside promenade, or through the elegant parks. There are white shingle beaches which are popular for lake bathing, but perhaps you might prefer to take one of the lake steamers or hydrofoils, and visit other pretty lakeside villages. Riva dates back to Roman times and there are many fine buildings to be admired, especially around the Piazza Tre Novembre, whilst the 12th Century La Rocca castle dominates the waterfront. There are many shops among the narrow streets of the old town, together with a wide selection of cafes, bars and restaurants.

    Scope of the Conference

    The Euromat Series

    Engineering progress essentially depends on the availability and the intelligent use of materials. For many key industry areas, Europe is at the forefront of the development of new materials and their applications. Euromat, the biennial meeting of the Federation of European Materials Societies with its 24 member societies, is the premier pan-european event covering the complete range of Materials Sience and Technology.

    The Euromat series so far has in turn been organised by the FEMS member societies and represents by this a showcase of the competence of the European materials community. It includes the following venues:
    1989: Aachen, D
    1991: Cambridge, UK
    1993: Paris, F
    1995: Padua, I
    1997: Maastricht, NL
    1999: Munich, D
    2001: Rimini, I
    2003: Lausanne, CH

    Euromat 2005

    For the first time, Euromat goes to one of the new member states in Central Europe and will jointly be run by the Czech and the German materials member societies.

    The congress will focus on the latest developments in materials processing, properties and applications, bringing together research scientists and industrial technologists. There is hardly a better opportunity for scientists and engineers in the European materials arena to meet and to discuss materials issues.

    The congress is the Prague Technical University, situated in an attractive central site and offering outstanding conference facilities.

    Another purpose is to examine how those industrial applications are facilitated by the business processes at companies increasingly exposed to competition by globalization, a process which is compelling these companies to produce new products more profitably, primarily by holding down costs. Hence, this conference has one topic area focussing on examples and methods of how to identify and control the main cost drivers during development, manufacturing and assembly. Participants will be shown state-of-the-art strategies on how to optimize processes and assure the economic success of innovative products by shortening product development lead time and time-to-market.
    The conference will last three days, comprising keynote addresses and presentations in a series of plenary and parallel sessions. The official language of the conference will be English. No simultaneous translation will be provided. Delegates and accompanying persons will be able to take advantage of social events detailed in the registration form, including a visit to the opera and the opening ceremony of the Oktoberfest.

    1st Super High Strength Steel

    November 02 - 05, 2005
    Roma
    Italy

    Organized by
    ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI METALLURGIA
    CENTRO SVILUPPO MATERIALI

    SCOPE

    Both the design and production of components and load bearing structures made of steel are looking after the possibility of increasing the level of strength so as to reduce weight and dimensions in a significant way. The advantages of such an action however are to be seen not only under a purely economic profile, but, in many sectors, as for instance transportation, also under much more important socio-environmental aspects related to high energy consuming applications.

    For Material Scientists and Engineers it is a hard task to obtain a satisfactorily good combination of properties that makes the use of high strength steel materials in a selected context possible, and even more attractive. But the importance of the overall objective largely justifies the big efforts paid by the international Community through the years in so many directions.

    The scope of the Conference is to discuss state-of-the-art and future perspectives of high strength steels - especially at the highest level - mainly for structural applications.

    A really profitable assessment of material performance in specific applications can only be obtained through a serious information exchange and cooperation between Steel Producers and Users, that necessarily involve Research Centres and Design Engineers of both sides. Therefore different operators in leading market sectors like Automotive, Mechanics, Oil & Gas and Energy production and transmission, Constructions, are addressed to report on the more recent progress made in the field of materials formability, jointability, corrosion, fatigue & fracture resistance, just to quote some of the main properties to be developed in association with the High or Super High Strength levels required.

    On the production side specifically, Metallurgists and Technologists will be asked to contribute also on fabrication cycles set up and control themes as well as on the identification and description of the relevant property - controlling mechanisms both in the liquid and the solid state. Particular attention will be focused on the new compact cycle technologies, such as Thin Slab and Strip Casting, which have now reached a successful stage of development.

    The wide range of the various Carbon and alloyed steels options will be finally added as a third component of this tri-facet aim of the Conference: material, fabrication, applications.

    SYMPOSIUM 2005
    PROGRAMM
    TRIBOSYSTEME IN DER FAHRZEUGTECHNIK

    Donnerstag, 10. November 2005
    Beginn: 9.00 Uhr
    Tagungsort:
    FH Joanneum Gesellschaft mbH Studiengang Fahrzeugtechnik
    8020 Graz, Alte Poststraße 149

    ÖSTERREICHISCHE TRIBOLOGISCHE GESELLSCHAFT

    Teilnanmeentgett 189,-

    ErmiBigtes Teilnahmeentgelt für Mitglieder der ÖTG (gem. Mitgliedskategorie) sowie für 149,-
    Forschungspartner der AC2T research GmbH.

    Kein Teilnahmeentgert für Vortragende, Studierende (nach Maßgabe verfügbarer Plätze) und im Rahmen der ÖTG-Firmenmitglledschaft (je nach gewählter Kategorie des ÖTG-Mitgliedsbeitrages)!

    Im Teilnahmeentgelt sind Tagungsunterlagen, Pausengetränke und Mittagsimbiss enthalten. Preise verstehen sich exkl. MWSt..

    Verkehrstechnik im Allgemeinen und der Sektor Fahrzeugtechnik im Besonderen stehen oftmals im Mittelpunkt technologie- und wirtschaftspoli-tischer Diskussionen. Transportleistungen für Per-sonen und Güter bestimmen in einem hohen Aus-maß Ablauf und Qualität des täglichen Lebens.

    Der Bereich Verkehr nimmt einen hohen Stellen-wert im Bereich der produzierenden Industrie ein und wird häufig im Zusammenhang mit Fragen der Ökologie, aber auch der Sicherheit gesehen.

    Ein vergleichsweise hoher Anteil des Primärenergie-einsatzes entfällt insgesamt auf den Verkehrs-sektor und da vor allem auf motorische Antriebe in Fahrzeugen. Es ist daher seit langem eines der Schwerpunktgebiete der Tribologie, durch technologische, werkstofftechnische und schmie-rungstechnische Maßnahmen das Reibungs-geschehen in Antriebsaggregaten und Antriebs-strängen zu minimieren - ein Aufgabengebiet, das auch innerhalb der EU-Technologiepro-gramme besondere Beachtung findet. Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von Fahrzeugen stellen aus tribologischer Sicht einen weiteren aktuellen For-schungsschwerpunkt dar. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Bereich der Bewegungshemmung (Brem-sen, Reibantriebe), aber auch für die Kraftüber-tragung, etwa zwischen Reifen und Fahrbahn.

    Das ÖTG-Symposium 2005 „Tribosysteme in der Fahrzeugtechnik” greift relevante Frage-stellungen zu diesem Themengebiet auf und widmet sich insbesondere tribologisch bean-spruchten Komponenten in Fahrzeugen, Einsatz, Beurteilung und Alterungseinfluss von Schmier-stoffen, Werkstoffeinsatz sowie Modellierung und Simulation.

    Ziel-Branchen: Fahrzeugtechnik, Antriebstechnik, Schmierungstechnik Automatisierungstechnik, Logistik, Qualitätsmanagement, Anwendungs-technik im Maschinen- und Fahrzeugbau.

    Electro-deposition of metals using pulse techniques may improve the quality of deposited layers, e.g. the wear resistance can be considerably increased by the inclusion of solid particles. Special procedures (e.g. co-deposition of nickel and gold with various hard particles out of a bath which also contains a certain amount of hard particles) and results are discussed.

    Scope

    ASEAN's petroleum industry will meet in Manila for the 8th ASCOPE Conference & Exhibition from 30th November - 3rd December 2005

    Hosted by the Philippines National Oil Company (PNOC), ASCOPE is the most important petroleum conference & exhibition in the Asia Pacific region. ASCOPE is held on a rotational basis every four years in each of the ASEAN Council of Petroleum (ASCOPE) countries. ASCOPE 2005 will be held at the prestigious Philippine International Convention Centre, Manila, just seven kilometres from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and within five kilometres of numerous international hotels.

    ASCOPE comprises of the following members; Petroleum Unit of Brunei Darussalam, Pertamina (Indonesia), Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), PNOC, Singapore Petroleum Company, Petroleum Authority of Thailand and PetroVietnam. All these organisations support the ASCOPE event by coordinating the multi-disciplinary conference programme, sending large visitor delegations and taking centre piece stands at the exhibition.

    The conference theme is Energising ASEAN to meet the challenges of the new millennium. "The seven National Oil Companies that are members of the ASCOPE committee, chaired by the PNOC, will work with leading figures from other petroleum industry organisations active in ASEAN to produce a comprehensive conference programme", said Alfredo Parungao, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for PNOC. "The conference programme will be focusing on maximising assets, best practices and technology that will help the region to achieve its goals."

    ASCOPE enables organisations to focus on the petroleum industry across the Asia Pacific region, an area known for its diversity, opportunity and capacity for growth. Take advantage of ASCOPE to meet key representatives from the regions National Oil Companies, discuss your companies development, establish business relationships, increase brand identity and develop competitive strategies.

    The previous ASCOPE, held 2001 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, welcomed over 2500 regional delegates to the conference and 9598 visitors to the exhibition. A similar number of participants, from producers to regulatory bodies, are expected at ASCOPE 2005. ASCOPE 2005 hosted by PNOC will be managed by Malaysian Exhibition Services Sdn Bhd (MES), a member of Allworld Exhibitions Alliance (formally known as The Montgomery Network).

    Introduction

    For almost 30 years „Tribology“ as a term related to friction, wear, and lubrication has found its way into the awareness of numerous experts who are concerned with the unacceptable effects of friction and wear, and who have to find solutions to minimize these effects. It has become clear that the lubricant alone is insufficient to solve the relevant problems. On the contrary, it is the last link in the chain that begins with the designing of the tribological contact and includes materials selection, metal cutting, and forming as well as surface treatment. Much has been achieved in these years but quite a number of questions still wait for satisfactory solutions. For this purpose, this colloquium aims at facilitating the exchange of expert knowledge from all over the world. The 15th International Colloquium Tribology focuses on discussing and solving tribological problems. One of its most important features is that the presentations are related to practice.

    3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THERMAL PROCESS MODELLING AND SIMULATION

    Organised for IFHTSE by the Hungarian Scientific Society of Mechanical Engineering (GTE) and
    the Materials Science and Technology Committee of Hungarian Academy of Sciences

    27-29 April 2006
    Budapest, Hungary
    Deadlines
    for abstracts: 30th September 2005.
    of acceptance: 1st December 2005.
    for full papers: 31st January 2006.

    Aims and Scope
    The conference will focus mainly on modelling and computer simulation of heat treatment and surface engineering processes such as quenching, tempering, high energy rate heat treating (e.g. induction, laser and electron beam heating), carburizing, carbo-nitriding, nitrogen-carburizing, coatings (PVD, CVD), etc. However, other thermal processes such as casting, rolling, forging, welding are also included. The emphasis is on metallic alloys, but contributions on other materials (polymers, ceramics, and composites) are also welcome.
    On the one hand, simulations should model materials-related physical phenomena (such as diffusion, phase transformations, thermo-mechanical behaviour) independently or in combination. On the other hand, the process-related phenomena (heat transfer including fluid dynamics and combinations with electromagnetic phenomena, mass transfer, etc.) should be thoroughly described.
    The aim of the conference is to bring together specialists in modelling in materials science, solid-state and fluid mechanics, as well as in numerical simulation to discuss the state of the art from both theoretical and applied viewpoints.

    Topic Guidelines

    • Modelling of physical phenomena with approaches on different scales.
    • New developments in numerical methods and techniques.
    • Computer simulation of whole processes.
    • Materials and process databases.
    • Experimental validation of models and numerical simulation.
    • Application of computer simulation in industry.
    The conference programme will combine invited lectures and contributed papers presented in oral or poster form.

    Proceedings

    The full texts of all papers will be published and each delegate will receive a copy on a CD on arrival at the conference.

    Exhibition
    A technical exhibition on related fields is also planned. Companies planning to participate as exhibitors are also welcome.

    Call for Papers
    Prospective authors are invited to submit paper title and an abstract of about 300 words (in English) to the Conference Secretariat. The abstract should provide sufficient information for a fair assessment.
    More details on call for papers will be available on this web site. Abstracts and papers are to be submitted via the online registration and submission page of the conference.

    Deadlines
    Deadline for abstracts: 30th September 2005.
    Notication of acceptance: 1st December 2005.
    Deadline for full papers: 31st January 2006.

    General information

    Location

    Considering the world wide ecologic situation and the growing demand on raw materials, alternative fuels are one of the great tasks in the concept of modern drive and transportation systems. A quite similar situation -as to the general prerequisites - can be found in the field of lubricants. Thus novel solutions are developed leading to improved or generally new types of fuels and lubricants.

    It is the aim of this conference to address the main aspects in the areas of hydrocarbon and bio-derived fuels and new types of lubricants with specific focus on these issues

    GENERAL CHARACTERISATION
    LUBRICITY
    PERFORMANCE
    MECHANISMS OF ADDITIVES
    SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATIONS

    Some of the effects of novel lubricating substances are not yet completely known, such as synergy-antagonism-interactions between eco-tribological additives (FM, AW, EP) and other fuel additives. It is necessary to include secondary phenomena as to emission and after-treatment processes as well.

    These aspects will influence the practical applications respectively the applicability of such products, at least from an economical point of view when considering possibly necessary measures to prepare, to purify or to recycle new lubricating substances.

    Experts from these and other fields are invited to present their research results as well as applications and to exchange ideas and discuss them with other colleagues working in different field of research and application.

    The different venues of this Conference give the possibility to visit research institutions and labs of the cooperation partners AC2T research and OMV.

    It is recommended to stay in Vienna. The Scientific Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Vienna can offer a limited number of rooms. Suitable hotels near the Scientific Centre are available as well. Shuttle bus service will be provided from and to the Scientific Centre on the 1nd and 3rd day.

    INVITATION

    Invitation to Attend

      AUSTRIB 2006 will be the 7th International Tribology Conference to be held in Australia and the 3rd in Brisbane. Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and the practices related thereto, or more simply: friction, lubrication and wear. There are very few engineering components which do not embrace tribological principles.

      The theme of AUSTRIB 2006 is Putting Tribology to Work. It is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners working in tribology from around the world. The purpose is to review the current state of knowledge in selected areas by way of invited keynote speakers, to provide researchers with a forum to present their findings and to provide practitioners with a means to relate their experience and solutions to specific tribological problems via sessions devoted to case studies.

      Planning of the technical program, social events and a technical exhibition is now in progress. The program will include plenary lectures, invited lectures, contributed papers and posters. Symposia on current topics and a special session on industrial tribology are also planned.

      We take great pleasure in inviting you to participate in AUSTRIB 2006 and look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane.

    Bejing, China

    Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. It is not only the nation's political center, but also its cultural, scientific and educational heart as well as a key transportation hub. Beijing has served as a capital of the country for more than 800 years. The city has many places of historic interest and scenic beauty, including the Forbidden City--the largest and best-preserved ancient architectural complex in the world; the Temple of Heaven--where Ming and Qing emperors performed solemn rituals for bountiful harvests; the Summer Palace--the emperors' magnificent garden retreat; the Ming tombs--the stately and majestic mausoleums of 13 Ming Dynasty emperors; and the world-renowned and genuinely inspiring Badaling section of the Great Wall.

    Location: Beijing is located on the western coast of China on the Pacific Ocean. Beijing stands at the northern tip of the North China Plain. Beijing lies at approximately the same latitude as Philadelphia in the U.S. and Madrid in Spain. The city is 39% flat land and the other 61% is quite mountainous area. Beijing is surrounded by the Yanshan Mountains on the west, north and east while the small alluvial plain of the Yongding River lies to its southeast.

    Area: Greater Beijing has an area of 16,808 sq km.

    Climate: The climate in Beijing is of the continental type, with cold and dry winters and hot summers. January is the coldest month and July is the warmest. Average temperature in May is 20°C (68°F).

    Population: 13.82 million (March 2001), half of the people live on the outskirt of the city.

    Industry: China has an industrial base with major potential, which is developing rapidly. Technological know-how is high within many areas and the possibilities for further productivity improvements are enormous. Beijing is heavily involved in the processing of coal, iron, and petroleum. It also has a significant number of woolen textile mills. Additionally, Beijing is home to a large, well educated engineering workforce. Beijing's auto industry is seeing its fastest expansion in the country’s history, with Beijing Hyundai, Beijing Jeep and Beijing Foton, the three biggest local carmakers, becoming the pillars propping up its rapid growth.

This meeting will bring together the best of recent research in all areas of tribology. Technical tracks have been established in the following areas:

    • Tribomaterials
    • Lubricants and Additives
    • Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication
    • Hydrodynamic Lubrication and Fluid Film Bearings
    • Rolling Element Bearings
    • Engine Tribology
    • Machine Components Tribology
    • Contact Mechanics
    • Magnetic Storage Tribology
    • Manufacturing/Metalworking Tribology
    • Nanotribology
    • Engineered Surfaces
    • Biotribology
    • Emerging Technologies
    The meeting is organized around three days of technical sessions and includes:
    • Regular technical talks;
    • Panel discussions;
    • Student posters.
    In addition to the technical program, the meeting provides a forum for networking and informal exchange of ideas among participants from academia, research labs, industry, and government agencies.

    For 2007, there are some important changes in the paper submission process. We are pleased to announce that all paper submissions will be in the form of a two to three-page (maximum) Extended Abstract. For convenience, the Extended Abstract template for the 2007 IJTC and the ASME 1903 Copyright Form (required for inclusion of all Extended Abstracts in the 2007 IJTC Conference Proceedings) are available by clicking on the links above. Please note that the 1903 Copyright Form(s) must be faxed or mailed to ASME (see form for instructions). There is no electronic version available. For Extended Abstracts with multiple authors, multiple 1903 Forms may be submitted.

    Unlike previous years, there is no requirement to submit a manuscript to one of the three journals (ASME Journal of Tribology, Tribology Transactions, or Tribology Letters) for inclusion in the Conference. Submission of a manuscript to one of the journals is encouraged, however, all decisions regarding acceptance for presentation at the Conference, and for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings, will be based on the Extended Abstract that you submit through the Conference web site. Please visit the Author Center above to begin the process of paper submission.

    We encourage you to check the Conference web site periodically for important updates and developments, including registration, hotel, and local attraction information.

    We are looking forward to a meeting that brings together a very international group of tribology researchers; and San Diego is a wonderful venue for such a meeting. San Diego is home to many tourist attractions including Sea World and the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. The hotel is also situated on a trolley line, just a short ride to Old Town San Diego with its fine dining and nightlife.

    We are expecting attendance and presentations from around the globe, and we sincerely hope that you will take part and join us in San Diego in 2007 for the International Joint Tribology Conference.

    Invitation

    The 4th World Tribology Congress (WTC IV) will be held in Kyoto International Conference Center. The organizing committee would like to invite you from all over the world to the thousand-year old capital of Japan in the early autumn of 2009.
    As science and technology are required to contribute towards achieving sustainable developments in the planet Earth, it has a great meaning to bring together top tribology researchers and engineers from around the world at the venue where the important international meeting of the Climate Summit was held in 1997.
    Yoshitsugu KIMURA Chair, Organizing Committee

    Scope and Outline

    Harmonized coexistence of human being with nature is now recognized as a global issue. To achieve this goal, innovation is needed in various fields of technology. In particular, conservation of energy and resources through improving efficiency and increasing durability of machinery and equipment is of critical importance. The scope of the Congress focuses on Tribology as the key discipline for technological innovation in the 21st Century. Tribologists from all over the world are welcome to Kyoto to exchange research findings and to discuss new developments for tomorrow in all aspects of Tribology.

    Joint ICTP/FANAS International Conference "Trends in Nanotribology"

    19th - 24st October 2009
    Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)
    Trieste, Italy.

    Dear colleague,
    we are pleased to announce the upcoming joint ICTP/FANAS International Conference "Trends in Nanotribology", which will be held at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy (http://www.ictp.it) on October 19-24, 2009.

    Understanding the complex processes occurring at the interface of two interacting materials in relative motion (the science of tribology) is a formidable task, central to pure and applied sciences as to many technological problems. The aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists from all over the world, active on the freshest experimental and theoretical developments of atomic-scale friction. Both theoretical/computational approaches and experimental state-of-the-art techniques will be covered.

      The focus will include highlights such as:
    • Nonlinearity and chaotic dynamics in frictional processes;
    • From stick-slip motion to superlubric regimes;
    • Towards more realistic models of contact and noncontact AFM: how to measure energy dissipation;
    • Atomistic friction of carbon materials: C60, nanotubes, graphite and diamond-like films;
    • Effective methods of controlling motion and tuning friction at the nanoscale;
    • Dynamics and tribological properties of confined systems under shear;
    • Nanomanipulation and dynamics of clusters and nano-objects at surfaces;
    • From single asperity to multi-asperity contacts;
    • Wear and fracture;
    • Probing tribology at the nanoscale: trends in experimental techniques.

    Conference web site:
