Guest seminar of Pr. Farid BELARIFI, Université d’Oran 2, 10/11/2022

We are pleased to announce the seminar of 

Pr. Farid BELARIFI, Full professor at Institut de maintenance et de sécurité industrielle of University Oran 2 (Mohamed Ben Ahmed), leader of Tribology and nano tribology team LSMC- University Oran1, on the"Optimization of the operating conditions of machine elements by characterization of lubrication and wear (experimental studies and simulations)". 

On 10/11/2022 at 13h15 via Teams.  

Abstract :  

Machine elements such as gears, bearings and housings, highlight problems related to their lubrication due to their working conditions at high pressures with the influence of macro and micro geometric aspects. In this context our areas of interest focus on the characterization of lubrication and wear to define the operating conditions of these elements, this presentation highlights our approach and some results of various studies conducted within our team.
