The online joint conference of 23rd International Conference Wear of Materials and 5th International Conference on BioTribology will take place as a live-streamed and interactive event at 9:30 – 14:00 EST, from 26-28 April 2021.
Register now to participate in an interactive conference experience direct from your desktop or mobile device: live-stream presentations and take part in discussion through live chat and Q&A.
Author registration deadline: 5 March 2021
Registration deadline for live participation (non-presenting delegates): 23 April 2021
Your registration includes on-demand access for 30 days (from one day after the conference).
The conference will focus on advances in the understanding of both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials and will provide a forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest understandings. The conference is also unique for its paper submission process with full peer review in collaboration with the Elsevier journal Wear to ensure technical quality of presentations.
This edition of the conference will include special sessions on wear and related topics in aviation and aerospace applications, renewable and sustainable technologies, biotribology, engine tribology, tool wear, modeling and simulation and surface texturing for wear reduction. A full list of topical areas are listed below.
