Description
This collection of fully peer-reviewed papers were presented at the 26
th Leeds-Lyon Tribology Symposium which was held in Leeds,
UK, 14-17 September, 1999.
The Leeds-Lyon Symposia on Tribology were launched in 1974, and the large number of references to original
work published in the Proceedings over many years confirms the quality of the published papers. It also indicates that the volumes
have served their purpose and become a recognised feature of the tribological literature.
This year's title is 'Thinning Films and
Tribological Interfaces', and the papers cover practical applications of tribological solutions in a wide range of situations.
The
evolution of a full peer review process has been evident for a number of years. An important feature of the Leeds-Lyon Symposia is the
presentation of current research findings. This remains an essential feature of the meetings, but for the 26
th Symposium
authors were invited to submit their papers for review a few weeks in advance of the Symposium. This provided an opportunity to discuss
recommendations for modifications with the authors.
Included in series

Audience:
For engineers, technicians, students and researchers working in the field of tribology and its applications.
