Laboratory of Surface Mechanics and Tribology
Determination of superficial layer behaviour for plastic deformations during
indentation or indentation by sliding, free rolling or different relative sliding levels;
wear in free rolling or sliding at low or high temperatures; wear of composite materials when
rolling with lubrication or without lubrication, evaluation of surface quality by 2D or 3D
contact profilometry. Tests on different tribotester (pin-on-disc, ball on-disc and block-on-ring,
continous sliding, reciprocating etc.), in dry and lubricated regimes, using high performance
tribometers
