TribologyTalks

In the latest episode of TribologyTalks, we’re joined by Dr. Alexander MacLaren who shares insights from his recent research on high-speed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) using PCS-Instruments EHD-HS rig. In Part 1, Dr. MacLaren delves into how optimising lubricant viscosity can boost the efficiency and durability of electric vehicles and gas turbine engines.

Part two dives into the untapped potential of biomedical tribology—where engineering meets medicine to improve patient care and everyday products. From collaborating with clinicians to engaging students with real-world science, Sarah’s work is making waves in the field. Dr. Crossland also shares how she integrates her research into STEM outreach, inspiring the next generation with practical, real-...

In part 1 of this TribologyTalks episode, Dr. Sarah Crossland, a medical engineering researcher at the University of Hull, discusses her work on biotribology, particularly focusing on diabetic foot ulceration. She shares insights into how her research aims to improve the understanding and treatment of tissue damage caused by medical devices, emphasising the importance of pressure and shear forces...
