8th World Tribology Congress (WTC 2026)

It was a great experience to attend the 8th World Tribology Congress (WTC 2026) (20-25 September, 2026) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! 🌍 🇧🇷

Michele Tricarico had the pleasure of presenting our work “Unraveling Vibroadhesion: How Test Parameters Influence Vibration-Modulated Adhesion”, carried out at the Tribodynamics Lab of Politecnico di Bari.

Our study explores how material properties, contact geometry, and experimental conditions affect vibration-induced adhesion enhancement.

A fantastic opportunity to share our research, exchange ideas, and connect with the international tribology community!

Many thanks to the WTC 2026 organizers for the excellent event and to my co-authors Aleligne Yohannes and Antonio Papangelo for their collaboration.
