In Part 2 of our conversation with Joseph Shore and Jie Zhang from the Imperial College Tribology Group, we move from research backgrounds into the challenge of designing meaningful tribology tests. Joined by PCS Instruments’ Ben Wainwright, Joe and Jie discuss what makes a good test, how fundamental contacts can help us understand real applications and why modelling, assumptions and experimental data all need to work together. The episode also looks ahead to future tribology challenges, from EV drivetrains and high-speed testing to hydrogen, ammonia, robotics and more sustainable lubrication.
