May 9, 2018, invited by associate professor Zhu Yi, professor Khonsarifrom Louisiana State University came to our school for academic exchanges. Professor Khonsari graduated from the Department ofMechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's, masters and doctoral degrees. Professor Khonsari is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS ), the American Society of Mechanical Engineering ( ASME ), the American Society of Friction and Lubrication Engineers ( STLE ), Fellow, ASME Journal of Tribology, Tribology International, STLETribology Transactions, and many other tribological international journals. Editorial board. He is currently Professor of mechanical engineering at Louisiana State University, Visiting Professor of DowChemical Rotating Machinery; Researcher at NASA's Lewis ResearchCenter, Wright - Patterson Air Force Laboratory and US Department of energy; Member of the Louisiana Innovation Council. ProfessorKhonsari's research interests include friction, wear, lubrication and fatigue diagnosis; published" Applied Tribology: Lubrication and Bearing Design", "Introduction to Thermodynamics ofMechanical Fatigue and other monographs, published more than 250academic papers, more than 50 Book Chapter; invited more than 150international conferences or invited reports. In addition, Khonsariis a visiting professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University.
As the host of the Open Fund of the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, Professor Khonsari made extensive and in-depth exchanges with Professor Zhu Yi and classmates on the issue of frictional wear of critical hydraulic components, Material failure and structural performance control of forming related parts by metal additive were discussed. Through this visit, preliminary intentions were reached on future cooperation and mutual visits between the two sides.
On the morning of the 9th, Professor Khonsari gave a lecture entitled“Science and application of tribology and its contribution to machinery” to the teachers and students at the national laboratory of Fluid Power and Electromechanical Systems. The lecture also attracted other schools’ researchers. Began with the origin of tribology, Professor Khonsari showed the application of tribology in various fields. This academic conference provided valuable opportunities for teachers and students to understand the history and frontier dynamics of tribology, and to innovate ideas, and also stimulated everyone's interest in learning tribology.
