What is tribology?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What is tribology?
Explanation of Solution
Tribology is the science of surfaces which interact in relative motion. This involves the studyings well as applying the principles of lubrication friction and wear. It draws on several academic streams, including but not limited to, engineering, mathematics, materials science, biology, physics, and chemistry. People working in tribology stream are known as Tribologists.
