from Math! Science! History! · host Gabrielle Birchak

The term Tribology was presented in a landmark report by the brilliant engineer Peter Jost in 1966. The primary components of tribology include friction, wear, and lubrication. Since  the Jost Report, this field study has altered the trajectory of engineering in spaceflight, aerospace, healthcare and green energy.  To read the podcast's transcripts, visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.
