ABSTRACT Considerable economic loss is suffered at the hands of mechanical designs that do not incorporate sufficient knowledge about tribological processes. Yet because only a handful of academic departments offer study in tribology, there remains a critical national need to produce experts in this rapidly emerging field. Funds are requested from the National Science Foundation to sponsor five (5) students for graduate study leading to the Ph.D. in the field of tribology. With five faculty in the tribology area, a selection of courses covering tribological topics as well as extensive laboratory facilities for tribological experimentation, the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, is well equipped to provide academic training for sponsored GRTP students. The School will aggressively recruit outstanding students will seek to promote awareness and interest in the tribology field among undergraduates. The School will also take advantage of a number of special programs to identify and attract talented students from underrepresented groups. The GRTP students will receive a comprehensive educational experience, including: (1) quality mentoring from a faculty advisor; (2) formal training in tribology fundamentals; (3) access to high quality laboratory facilities; (4) participation in a graduate seminar series; (5) travel to and presentation at national conferences; and (6) involvement in tribology instruction to undergraduates.

摘要 由于机械设计没有充分考虑摩擦学过程的知识，因此造成了相当大的经济损失。 然而，由于只有少数学术部门提供摩擦学研究，因此国家仍然迫切需要培养这个快速新兴领域的专家。 国家科学基金会请求资金资助五 (5) 名学生进行研究生学习，获得博士学位。 在摩擦学领域。 乔治·W·伍德拉夫机械工程学院拥有 5 名摩擦学领域的教员，提供一系列涵盖摩擦学主题的课程以及用于摩擦学实验的广泛实验室设施，设备齐全，可以为受资助的 GRTP 学生提供学术培训。 学院将积极招收优秀学生，努力提高本科生对摩擦学领域的认识和兴趣。 学校还将利用一些特殊项目来识别和吸引来自弱势群体的优秀学生。 GRTP的学生将获得全面的教育体验，包括：（1）来自导师的优质指导； (2) 摩擦学基础知识的正式培训； (3) 获得高质量的实验室设施； (4) 参加研究生系列研讨会； (5) 出席国家会议并在会上发表演讲； (6) 参与本科生摩擦学教学。
