WOM 2013 - 19th International Conference on Wear of Materials

The 19th International Conference on Wear of Materials will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progress in recent decades and a special session will concentrate on modeling of wear.
Organised every two years, the Wear of Materials Conference provides a unique international forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest results.
Two types of papers are invited. Both categories of papers will be peer-reviewed for technical quality
full-length research-quality papers that involve materials aspects of wear, wear analysis and wear modeling, and
shorter, concise case studies
Original research papers reporting new research results in the following broad categories are invited:
Basic mechanisms of friction and wear of all materials and coatings, both dry and lubricated
Papers on modeling and testing of friction and wear behavior
Materials surface engineering methods to control friction and wear
Papers should include sufficient characterization of materials and test methods so that other researchers can duplicate the experiments. Submissions will be held to high standards as contributions to the understanding of wear and for clarity of writing.
