We have organized a Lorentz Workshop with 60 selected partecipants leading scientists in tribology and contact mechanics mainly from Europe.
Attached a program. Or see the web site

Fracture Mechanics implications for apparent static friction coefficient in contact problems involving slip-weakening laws
Dear collegues
a quick question:- I am playing with continuum models of Contact (Hertz, Westergaard and so on) and friction laws. However, I prefer for my students to use ANSYS FEM code. In Ansys there is standard Coulomb, rate-dependence but not rate-state (unless one codes some user subroutines). See

Would you believe this story?
To me, that metal - on - metal had large friction, especially with the newest designs, it was clear from the old Sir Charnley studies in Leeds in 1950s published in his gold book.
Anyway, when I looked at ceramic on ceramic joints, I also found evidence of increased friction. Maybe ceramic debris is less toxic?
Please comment. What can we do outside USA to improve the situation?

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 1st International IEEE Workshop on Metrology for Aerospace.
The event is co-technical sponsored by two IEEE Societies, AESS and IMS.
The event includes but is not limited to new technology for metrology-assisted production in aerospace industry, aircraft component measurement, sensors and associated signal conditioning for aerospace, calibration methods for electronic test and measurement for aerospace.
