(Hans) Peter Israel Jost, CBE was a British mechanical engineer. He was the founder of the discipline of tribology, the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. In 1966, Jost published a report which highlighted the cost of friction, wear and corrosion to the United Kingdom economy. It was in this eponymous report that he coined the term tribology, which has now been widely adopted.
