新年伊始，万象更新。《润滑与密封》从2015年第一期开始连载发表美国摩擦学者与润滑工程师协会（STLE）2014年调研报告《摩擦学和润滑工程发展趋势》。在2014年4月徐州召开的中美摩擦学双边会议上，STLE 时任会长 Robert D．Heverly 对该调研报告内容做了介绍，摩擦学分会副理事长／广州机械科学研究院院长黄兴教授提出在《润滑与密封》上转载发表，得到 Robert D．Heverly 的认同并整理出该文，同时得到 STLE 秘书长 Edward Salek 的帮助支持。该文收集整理了全球近1000名摩擦学者与润滑工程师（STLE 会员）的意见，从行业前景、能源、制造、交通运输、原子运动过程、其他摩擦学专题、政府法规、安全和环境以及人类基本需求等九个方面来评价摩擦学和润滑工程存在问题及发展趋势。该文重点分析了摩擦学和润滑工程在国民经济相关领域中的重要作用和未来发展的前瞻性信息，值得我国摩擦学和润滑工作者的借鉴和思考。“,”Editor’s Note:At the very beginning of the year,everything takes on a fresh and new look.will serially publish the “Trends in Tribology and Lubrication Engineering:2014 Report on Emerging Issues and Trends”of Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers(STLE)from the first phase of 2015.Robert D.Heverly,who was the president of STLE,introduced the main content of this research report during the China and American Tribology Bilateral Meeting held in Xuzhou in April,2014.Idea to reprint this research report on was proposed by Professor Huang Xing,who is the vice director of China Tribologival Institute(CTI),also the dean of Guangzhou Mechani-cal Engineering Research Institute(GMERI).Robert D.Heverly agreed with this idea and compiled this report.Through all the preparing process,still got much support and help from Edward Salek,the Secretary general of STLE.The research en-compasses the global opinions and experiences of nearly 1,000 tribologists and lubrication engineers(Members of STLE), and analyze the emerging issues and trends of tribology and lubrication engineering from 9 aspects:the outlook on the field,energy,manufacturing,transportation,atomistic processes,other tribology topics,government regulation,safety and the environment and basic human needs.This research focuses on analyzingthe important role of tribology andlubrication engi-neering in related fields of the national economy,and the development of forward-looking information,it is worth studying and thinking for Chinese tribology and lubrication staff.
