Prof. Dr. Gábor Kalácska - MATE Research
Overview
Gábor Kalácska's main research area is at the intersection of mechanical engineering, farm-engineering, and material science. More specifically, it delves into the investigation of tribological issues associated with the technical reliability of machine systems and their operational lifespan. This encompasses the study of friction and wear in machine components, lubrication, as well as the development and application technology of tribological systems. Within the realm of materials science, the research focuses on the tribological characteristics of polymers and composites. Furthermore, it explores the abrasive processes in farm-engineering and their applications in aerospace (space tribology research).
