Ms. Céline TREVISIOL
In our environment, there are many applications involving tribology which is the processes of friction and wear between two materials. Nevertheless, a considerable amount of energy is consumed to overcome friction (in transport, industry and power generation sectors). In addition, friction is likely to generate severe wear of components and significant economic losses. Based on this context, efforts are devoted to introducing better tribological practices that require a better understanding of the different processes involved in friction situations. To progress in the mechanical engineering industry, the tribological laboratory of CETIM is strongly involved in this topic
