Tribology is defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It therefore encompasses the study of friction, wear, and lubrication between surfaces in contact and the interactions at their interface. Such interactions may be the transmission of forces, the conversion of mechanical energy, the chemistry of the surfaces, or the interlocking phenomena related to surface morphology and topography. The basic essence of tribology is to understand these surface interactions and thus be able to solve problems and find adequate solutions.

Vibration is the cyclic motion of an object around its equilibrium position. It can be free, self – excited or externally – excited, also can be undamped, damped, critical damping or overdamped. Unwanted vibrations lead to failure, while some vibrations are wanted for some operations involving shaking. Vibration problems start by equations of motion in differential form, then solving these equations analytically or numerically. and analyzing the result to control the design parameters
The objective of the course is to study the fundamentals of the vibrations and to introduce with the computer applications
