CONFERENCE THEME CONFERENCE THEME : TRIBOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - Discussed in Inaugural lecture By Chief Guest : Jerry P Byers, President

5 CONFERENCE THEME CONFERENCE THEME : TRIBOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - Discussed in Inaugural lecture By Chief Guest : Jerry P Byers, President STLE Sustainability in manufacturing and development covering concepts like Hydraulic hybrid vehicles, green chemistry, wind turbine related issues etc.

CONFERENCE THEME Lecture By Guest of Honour: Mr Arun Jaura, Eaton Corporation, Pune Life Cycle Paradigm in Tribology for Sustainable Development

6 CONFERENCE THEME Lecture By Guest of Honour: Mr Arun Jaura, Eaton Corporation, Pune Life Cycle Paradigm in Tribology for Sustainable Development Key points: Increased Fuel efficiency and life possible by incorporating tribology advances (savings to the tune of 102 billion gallons of gasoline)

Oral lectures: (1) Future Energy Sources for Mobility Contribution of the Green

7 CONFERENCE THEME RELATED LECTURES Prof Satish Kailas in the first plenary lecture : Sustainability: Closing the Cycle and Tribology Prof Wilfried Bartz in two plenary & Oral lectures: (1) Future Energy Sources for Mobility Contribution of the Green Automobile (2) Definition and Characterization of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants- The Eco Label.

8 CONFERENCE THEME Dr Ed Becker of General Motors in thought provoking keynote lecture discussing Towards a sustainable Worldwide Automotive Industry

ENRICHING INVITED LECTURES Covering a variety of topics

Basu on Formulating Lubricants using Artificial Neural

Metalworking fluids and trends in Industry - Mr George

9 ENRICHING INVITED LECTURES Covering a variety of topics signifying Tribology is indeed Multidisciplinary - Dr B Basu on Formulating Lubricants using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) - Mr Jerry Byers on Evaluation of Metalworking fluids and trends in Industry - Mr George Plint on Effects of Test machine Dynamics on Tribological Response

003 (VERY VERY DESIRABLE) Dr Georges Limbert on When Tribology meets Biology

10 PLENARY LECTURES Prof Koshi Adachi on Creating of Nanointerfaces for Super-low Friction to levels as low as (VERY VERY DESIRABLE) Dr Georges Limbert on When Tribology meets Biology citing modelling and testing of real life examples like Tribology of shaving, wrinkle creams looking at teeth, bones, skin, etc

13 ORAL AND POSTER SESSIONS 16 Oral and 4 Poster sessions covering topics as follows: Bearing and Gear Tribology Wear Mechanisms Surface Treatment & Coatings Lubricants & Additives Tribology in Manufacturing Condition Based Maintenance System Contact Mechanics & Friction Automotive Tribology Tribo - testing Special Topics in Tribology

14 GLIMPSES OF ORAL SESSIONS

15 Patient listening, posing questions and discussing further

16 SOME GLIMPSES OF THE POSTER SESSIONS

17 SOME KEY TAKE-AWAYS Newer modeling techniques in contact mechanics Realistic Tribo-testing simulations at the bench scale Achieving Energy efficiency in hydraulic systems Nano-additives for improving lubricant properties Performance improvements in industrial manufacturing plants Tribology as a definite tool for lubricant performance optimization Tribology of Hard disk drives Use of Oxygen and Nitrogen to achieve super low friction at nano-interfaces Use of Radio-tracers for wear monitoring in Engines

18 SOME KEY TAKE-AWAYS There is still great scope for reduction of various forms of wear Parametric Bearing design Optimization using modeling and experimental techniques Engine oils/design/materials aiming at Energy efficiency without loss of performance New Techniques for Equipment monitoring, and reliability improvement Surface texture modification for thermal, wear debris trapping and friction reduction Water and oil based nano fluids for better thermal diffusibility Non-conventional low cost materials for friction and wear optimization. Tribology and rheological aspects WITH A SCIENCE LIKE TRIBOLOGY, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

19 TECHNICAL EXHIBITION 17 Stalls displaying products and services related to Tribology Excellent response from delegates as per discussions with some of the exhibitors.
