Professor Stachowiak and his team developed new angularity parameters for particles and surfaces and found a clear correlation between grits angularity and wear which enabled better design of abrasive surfaces in practical use and facilitated computer simulations of abrasive wear. He further developed numerical methods to characterise wear particles. This was followed by the development of automated wear particle classification methods based on their shape and surface texture. The ability to relate the morphology of wear particles to the severity of wear processes improves the diagnosis of machine condition and failure analysis. Automated classification of wear particles based on their shape and surface texture eliminates the need for experts and further facilitates condition monitoring.


The second area of research efforts of Professor Stachowiak and his team has been bio-tribology with a focus on synovial joints, specifically knee joints. He found a direct link between the shape of wear particles in synovial joints and severity of osteoarthritis. This has led to the development of new computer- based image processing and classification methods for trabecular bone textures in X-ray images of the knee joints.

Novel image processing methods developed under Professor Stachowiak’s leadership allow not only the detection but, more importantly, the prediction of the onset of osteoarthritis from X-ray images of the joints. Once implemented, the methods assist individual patients and clinicians when designing disease preventative measures/treatments. This has the potential to provide long-term benefits for both individuals and communities across the world, who suffer from this disease. It could also have a major impact on devising preventative measures and on accelerated osteoarthritis drug development through early feedback on drug performance.

Professor Stachowiak’s research beneficially affected the national economy. Under the auspices of the International Energy Agency, he and his team are working on the development of new methods for the characterisation of surfaces with tessellated patterns (textures). As these surfaces promise to reduce friction and hence reduce emissions and fuel consumption in transport and energy generation, this research is of national priority not limited to Australia.

Professor Stachowiak has published numerous papers and several books on Tribology. His comprehensive work ‘Engineering Tribology’ describes modern understandings of friction, wear and lubrication. The book is being considered by many to be the best book on the subject and believed to have reached the highest number of editions of any tribology book so far published. It has since been adopted worldwide as a leading textbook in Tribology, contributing to the education of students and engineers across the world.
