11. The science and technology of friction, lubrication, and wear is known as tribology 12. Tribology plays an important role in manufacturing.13. The term " tribology " became widely used following The Jost Report in 1966. 14. Most technical universities have researchers working on tribology , often as part of mechanical engineering departments. 15. Since that time the Stribeck-curve has been a classic teaching element in tribology classes. 16. His area of research was orthopaedic tribology , particularly studying hip implants under John B . Medley. 17. Rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces ( see tribology ). 18. "' Tribology Transactions "'features scientific and technical papers in the field of tribology. 19. "' Tribology Transactions "'features scientific and technical papers in the field of tribology . 20. Tribology Letters fosters the cross-fertilization of ideas by rapid dissemination of the results of frontier research and development
