Entry knowledge
Knowledge from general courses on mechanics, physics, math, machine elements, materials technology and surface engineering.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Conditions for gaining the exam:- submission and defense of individual work on measurement or experimental analysis of selected tribological problem. The work would include theoretical description, error and measurement quality analysis and design of results evaluation.
Absence from lessons may be compensated for according to instructions of the teacher.
Aims
The main aim is to provide basic knowledge of the experimental methods, theory of measurement and experiments in the field of tribology with respect to the topic of PhD thesis.
- The ability to identify the key problems for experimental validation of tribological problems.- The ability to select proper experimental methods with respect to the specific problems in the field of tribology.- The ability to design experiments and assess quality of measurements.- The ability to statistically evaluate results.
