This course is a very good and core course in understanding the concepts & behavior of tripair sliding against each other . The tribology contributing factors are friction, wear and lubrication where the prefix tri comes from.
I have taken this course during my master degree in mechanical engineering at KFUPM.
To those who are interested or specialized in this field
