| Preamble |
| |
| Tribology Society of India (TSI) is the premier professional body in India, which has been promoting the awareness, practice, research, education and training in Tribology for the past two decades. Department of Mechanical Engineering & ITMMEC, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi jointly with Delhi Chapter of TSI is organizing a National Conference on “Tribology of Automotive Systems” from 11th December to 12th December 2009 at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. The main motive of this conference is to provide a common platform to researchers from industry, R & D organization and academic institute, who are working on automotive systems to reduce friction and wear in transportation. Tough competition, government regulations and rapid technological advancements in automotive sectors clearly points towards the growing need of research efforts in the area of tribology of automotive systems. Usage of higher energy-conserving engine oils, wear resistant and low friction materials and novel design of automotive components will become increasingly important in the face of both the saving of natural resources and lowering the engine friction. The purpose of this conference will bring together the tribology fraternity to explore, disseminate and strengthen initiatives in the area of improvements in automotive sectors. |
