 ‘TRIBOS…’ AND ‘LOGY’
 In Greek, ‘Tribos’ means ‘Rubbing’
 How does ‘Rubbing’ comes into picture in Mechanical
Engineering study?
 Reflect upon the basis of Mechanics and relate how Tribos
comes into picture in different contexts.
 Start closer to your everyday life: cars, shoes, the act of
brushing, combing your hair, putting your face cream, the
blood flow.
 Then move on to industrial application: bearings, gears,
cams and tappet etc.
 What are common?
