Professional recognition of Tribology

Can you please provide a link to the document containing the 114 expertise codes I can't find it.



I notice the UK Tribology website on which many of the events this network organises are advertised.

How many members of the IET Tribology Network are members of this and another engineering institution, as opposed to just being members of a single institution?



The issues of surface layer performance (including coatings) in terms of temperature dependent corrosion and wear, including predictive condition monitoring of such, are of paramount importance in so many existing and new interdisciplinary fields of engineering.



I think you should include virtual surfaces like magnetic bearings and clutches, as well as the engineering properties of superfluids in contact with a boundary solid surface.



In the energy fields I have been thinking on recently e.g home based CHP (including Methane Fuel Cells and Stirling Engines) and high temperature molten salt reactors, it seems to me the field of tribology becomes fundamental. The viewpoints and understanding gained in the field in terms of surface preparation and condition monitoring may also be of increasing importance in designing better and longer lasting low maintenance batteries.



I don't consider myself as a tribology expert, however I am a member and supporter of this networks vital work in attracting new engineers to this field. [Having said that I have written copious amounts of code to control route simulation dynamometers that test breaking components to destruction and probably know more about the field than I set out to know.]
