This edition has been updated to include new content on computational evaluation of cavitation effects in hydrodynamic bearings, the electrical properties of lubricants, coverage of gas and foil bearings, local directional fractal signature methods, tribochemistry and mechanical activation, removal of oxide films, models of mechanical activation, advancing tribology with artificial intelligence, modeling, and simulation, and much more. Suitable as an introductory text, a refresher, or an on-the-job-reference, Engineering Tribology, Fifth Editon is also relevant for those working in applied chemistry and bioengineering.
- Offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the mechanisms of lubrication, friction, and wear
- Updated to include new coverage of tribochemistry, modeling and simulation techniques, impact wear in percussion drilling, local direction fractal signature methods, artificial intelligence and tribology, and more
- Outlines new modeling and simulation techniques, introduces the topic of superlubricity, and discusses the reactive nature of commonly used metals
Undergraduate and post-graduate students in the field of mechanical and materials engineering; academic researchers
