Welcome to Tribodynamics
Description: The focus of this course is on the relationship between motion and friction. The motion of surfaces can vary in complexity, from simple steady sliding to movements that are highly variable in time and direction. Tribology is the study of such surfaces in relative motion and the performance of any tribological interface is directly related to friction. Depending on the desired outcome, the optimal friction may be either maximum or minimum. Tribology enables motion, and system designs rely on a proper understanding of the tribodynamics. This course provides the fundamentals of continuum tribodynamics modelling and simulation. In addition, novel non-invasive experimental techniques are introduced.The topics include:
• Fundamentals of friction
• Reynolds lubrication theory
• Elastohydrodynamics
• Thermo-Elastohydrodynamics
• Contact models and rough surfaces
• Multibody systems with imperfect joints
• Computational tribodynamics
• Introduction to ultrasonic reflectometry methods in tribology
Prerequisites: Fundamentals of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, solid mechanics and multibody dynamics

Important information concerning PhD courses
We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registration.
