Submitted by Laure Ballu on

The 19th International Conference on Wear of Materials with take place in Portland, Oregon, USA, 14-18 April 2013. Two typed of papers ar invited: 1) full-length research-qulity papers that involve materials aspects of wear, wear analysis and wear modeling, and 2)shorter, concise case studies. Both categories of papers will be peer reviewed for technical quality.

Two Nano-Tribology postdoctoral positions in Tel Aviv University

Submitted by shmuel on

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the group of Prof. M. Urbakh in lively Tel-Aviv. Topics are centered around nano and micro-scale tribology (friction, dissipation, adhesion, wear) involving theory, modeling, and computer simulation of frictional and nonlinear
dissipation phenomena.

The projects focus on: (i) studies of friction at micropatterened surfaces with biomimetic and sensing applications, and (ii) novel approaches to control frictional response at the nanoscale through application of electric field, light and force modulations.
