Green Tribology, which aims to mitigate the environmental impact of lubrication, friction, and wear characteristics, is currently under active investigation as a field for achieving environmentally sustainable technology. To advance Green Tribology, we intend to expand upon the collaborative research foundation established through the Sakura Science Program and other initiatives to elucidate the friction and wear properties of metamaterial structures with complex patterns. By integrating topology optimization techniques, we seek to develop structures with optimized wear properties while minimizing the utilization of solid lubricants. Specifically, metamaterial surfaces will be fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques, and their friction and wear properties will be systematically evaluated and analyzed. Furthermore, we aim to establish a technical framework for optimizing complex patterns through machine learning models via mutual interaction.
