Tribole
Tribole is a term used in the field of tribology, which is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Specifically, tribole refers to the phenomena that occur at these interfaces, including friction, wear, and lubrication. It encompasses the study of how materials behave when they are in contact and move against each other, often under varying conditions of load, speed, and environment.
The understanding of tribole is crucial in the design and maintenance of various mechanical systems. For instance,
Key aspects of tribole include identifying the mechanisms of friction, which can be adhesive or abrasive, and
