The METL Annual Meeting is held in November at the Kepner research facility for sponsors and members of METL from around the world. Presentations are given on current research projects in METL and discussed collaboratively by attendees who have various industrial and academic backgrounds. The METL Annual Meeting serves to provide an update on research work by METL students, an overview of METL's current facilities, and a synergistic networking opportunity for present and former sponsors.
We firmly believe that our work helps to advance the entire scientific community and our connection with industry and government organizations helps to solve real engineering problems. Therefore, if you are interested in learning more about our work and would like to attend this year's annual meeting please contact Professor Sadeghi: sadeghi@purdue.edu
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a common cause of failure in tribological machine components such as rolling-element bearings (REBs), gears, and cam & followers. Click here to learn more!
Critical components in internal combustion engines and drivetrains require lubrication to ensure efficiency and protection against premature failure. Click here to learn more!
Rolling element bearings are incorporated into many rotating machines for their low friction properties. It is necessary to have versatile models to simulate the bearing performance. Click here to learn more!
Fretting refers to small oscillatory displacements, of machine components for example, that cause surface damage such as wear, fatigue, corrosion etc. Click here to learn more!
