ABMA hosted the 2012 Lubrication and Wear: Advanced Concepts Course on May 14-16 in Indianapolis, IN. The course took place on the nationally renowned Notre Dame campus and focused on the science of lubrication and wear along with its application in rolling element bearing design.
Instructor and Notre Dame Professor, Tim Ovaert, provided insight on component design and failures while also focusing on the latest lubrication technology that is applied to bearings. In 2011, two new instructors, Chuck Coe and Vern Wedeven, were added to the course which generated only positive feedback. They returned for 2012 and brought extensive experience in grease lubrication and failure modes and materials in bearing lubrication. These industry experts cannot be found anywhere else.
2012 Attendees also enhanced their understanding of:
• Regimes of Lubrication
• 2-D and 3-D Surface Topographical Characterization
• 2-D and 3-D Contact Mechanics
• Surface and Subsurface Stress Analysis
• Asperity Contact Models
• 2-D and 3-D Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL)
• Transient and Micro-EHL
• Mixed Lubrication
• Grease Lubrication
• Applications in Rolling Element Bearing Design
