报告内容简介：

Tribology deals with the interfacial phenomena that occur at the interface of two contacting bodies in relative motion. Particularly, friction and wear that are experienced by all moving components affect the reliability, and ultimately, the life of mechanical systems. Hence tribology has a great impact on the energy consumption and quality of machines. In this regard, it is important to minimize the friction and wear of mechanical components. However, due to complexity of the tribological interaction, there is still a challenge to achieve this objective in many engineering systems. Particularly, in micro-systems, the tribological issues become more important since it is not practical to use conventional lubrication methods to minimize friction and wear. In this presentation, following a brief introduction to tribology, the basic mechanisms of friction and wear will be discussed with the focus on micro-scale interactions. Furthermore, an effective method to tackle tribological issues in micro-systems will be proposed. The presentation will also include a brief introduction to Yonsei University and the Tribology Research Lab.
