Connect, Learn and Share at the Fall Technical Meeting

Co-hosted with the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), this year’s event introduces an expanded dual-track format designed to support both deep technical research and forward-looking industry innovation.
Track 1: Peer-reviewed technical papers on new technologies, indexed in Scopus
Track 2: Presentation-only sessions focused on emerging technologies, innovative solutions and real-world applications.
