Tribology Laboratory at the University of Western Australia was established in 1985. Current research thrust of the laboratory is in the areas of numerical characterisation and classification of wear particles and surfaces, characterisation of particle angularity, erosive wear in slurries, lubricating properties of bio-degradable oils, synergism between corrosion and abrasion, wear in synovial joints and early detection/prediction of osteoarthritis and others.

Tribology is the science and technology of controlling friction and wear. The subject originated from the art of lubrication but has since developed to a much broader range of applications. Most mechanical equipment is subject to damage by wear or, else, wastes energy by frictional dissipation. More
