Theoretical and

Prof. Michael
Khonsari (U.S.A.) |
N/A |
Several papers
are being prepared and some publications are pending
review/publication for the ASME Journal of Tribology.
This peer-reviewed journal is considered to be the
premier archival journal if the field of the tribology.
We have also given presentation at the ASME/STLE joint
tribology conferences on this subject. To further
diversify the exposure of our research to the scientific
community, we have prepared a paper where the general
nature of the heat transfer and an analytical approach
for handling oscillatory heat source is described. This
paper is pending review for publication in the ASME
Journal of Heat transfer. Furthermore, we have spent
considerable time and effort in describing such
difficult tribology problems and our capabilities in
addressing them with industrial partners at CeRoM as
well as meetings with local plant managers. Lastly, the
PI presented related material in a tutorial and short
course style at the 2005 Gulf South Rotating Machinery
Symposium to a large number of practicing engineers
interested in the field of tribology. |
