	Xth International Technical Systems Degradation (TSD) Conference Liptovský Mikuláš 27÷30 APRIL 2011 27th ÷ 30th April 2011 Liptovský Mikuláš, Słowacja Major topics of ISFF6 include: testing and standardisation in fretting fatigue, experimental results, applications and case studies, theories and mechanisms of fretting fatigue and wear, modelling issues, coatings and lubrication as palliatives and fretting wear and its interaction with fatigue damage. TOPICS AND GOALS OF THE CONFERENCE Forming of the level of technical risk, especially identification of hazards associated with degradation as well as wear and tear processes occurring during operations, should be done already at the stage of design. The factor, which essentially affects such behavior, is the possibility of process evolution forecasting. Very important is to have procedures of detection of the periods of initiation as well as the early, low-energy phases of development of such defects. The purpose of the conference is presentation of the latest achievements in the field of modeling and simulation of mechanical systems’ defects, diagnosis of failures resulting from wear and tear as well as low-energy defects, safety of technical systems as well as diagnosis of technical condition and development of defects in structures, and also the issues from the field of tribology and operations in the broad sense of the term.

	ICoBT 2011 International Conference on BioTribology 18-21 September 2011, Imperial College London 18-21 September 2011 Imperial College London First Announcement and Call for Papers Abstract submission deadline 15 April 2011 Web: http://www.biotribologyconference.com/ Biotribology embraces a wide range of research topics from artificial joints and implants to hair conditioners and soft-tissue friction. Although this is one of the most exciting research areas in Tribology there is at present no dedicated Biotribology Conference. Very many research meetings include a few Biotribology sessions tucked away in the schedule; these range from Biophysics and Engineering to Cosmetics and Chemistry. ICoBT will bring researchers with diverse interests together in one meeting focussed solely on Biotribology. We hope the conference theme will attract scientists from outside the traditional tribology engineering domain. Contributions are from scientists, engineers and clinicians working in the fields of: orthopaedic surgery dentistry biomechanics biomaterials cosmetic chemistry biophysics biomimetics The topic of research includes a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), has a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involves the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics). This is a unique opportunity for the biotribology community to meet and discuss the latest research and effectively network.

	EURO Friction, Wear and Wear Protection Date: 10/26/2011 - 10/28/2011 Event venue: Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH Festplatz 9 76137 Karlsruhe Baden-Wuerttemberg Germany Deadline for the submission of papers is 21 February 2011. Event: Target group: Scientists and scholars, Students Email address: friction_wear2011@dgm.de Relevance: international Fields: Material sciences, Mechanical engineering Categories: Conference / Symposium / Convention Entry: 11/23/2010 Language of the text: English Scope of the Conference Conservation of energy and resources is one of the biggest challenges for society and industry. Modern tribology is one of the main cornerstones of reducing carbon emissions. However, friction and wear protection lacks of a systematic approach based on elemental mechanisms from materials science, physics and chemistry; materials and technologies needed in the near future may not be a simple extension of one which is in our hand now. Following the successful 2008 symposium in Aachen the 2011 conference belongs to a series of conferences held once every three years under the auspices of the technical committee "Materials aspects of tribology and machining" of the German Materials Society, DGM. The scope of the symposium covers all classes of materials, machining, production and lubrication technologies and targets at practitioners from industry as well as engineers and scientists. The conference will take place in Karlsruhe, close to such beautiful landscapes as the Black Forest and the French Alsace. Karlsruhe is easily accessible via Frankfurt International Airport, one of Europe‘s major international airports, which is just one hour away by direct train. I am looking forward to seeing you!

This conference is intended to be the succession of the International Tribology Conference, Kobe 2005. Advances in technology have improved the quality of human life, but at the same time they have brought the related problems of the energy crisis, global warming and environmental damage. As a key technology to solve these problems, tribology should play an important role in achieving a balance between technological progress and the interests of the global environment. The scope of this conference includes all aspects of tribology as the key technology, which makes a great contribution to the conservation of energy and resources by improving efficiency and increasing durability of machinery and equipment, which are necessary for the harmonized coexistence of human being with nature. Another important purpose of the conference is to promote the international exchange of useful information and create friendship among the specialists working in this field of tribology from all over the world. The organizing committee appreciates any of your contributions to this conference.

The first conference was held in Toronto in 1994, the second in USA '1998, the third in Nottingham '2000, the fourth in Nagoya '2002, the fifth in Porto '2006. These meetings resulted from the belief that of those disciplines associated with advanced product design and manufacture, engineering mechanics, materials engineering and reliability and safety engineering have made the most significant advances in recent years. Important and dramatic improvements in systems and component design can be made by the use of the latest advances in these disciplines, and the associated failure mechanisms. Their effect on the environment is significant and will help in avoiding global warming and harmful emissions. LOCATION American University in Cairo, Egypt CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS Prof. Shaker A.
