Influences on the Development of Tribotronics: Active Control for Future Machine Elements
Prof Ian Sherrington is Professor of Tribotechnology at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, and Affiliate Professor of Tribotronics at KTH Royal Institute for Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He is also the current Chair of the IMechE Tribology Group Committee in the UK and serves as Executive Director for the International Tribology Council (ITC).
Prof Sherrington’s current research activities are centred on the ground-breaking topic of “tribotronics”, the development of autonomous, actively controlled tribological components. He leads several projects involving the development of methods and actuators for measuring and controlling tribological parameters, such as friction and lubricating film thickness. The aim of this work is to actively control the operational characteristics of components such as seals and bearings to optimise aspects of their performance. For example, to adjust their instantaneous power loss in order to maximise their overall efficiency.
