The fundamentals of friction and wear of metallic and non-metallic materials such as polymers, ceramics, rubbers, and composites are discussed, as are fluidic, gaseous, grease, and solid media lubrication techniques.
In addition, the properties of lubricants and various types of additives incorporated are discussed, along with a methodology for conducting friction, wear and lubrication laboratory testing and an overview of simulation and modeling methods for various tribosystems. Case studies and applications are featured throughout, with a particular emphasis on analyzing failure modes of tribosystems.
- Introduces the basic concepts of tribology, building a comprehensive understanding for readers and then covering more advanced topics
- Discusses tribological properties of various engineering surfaces, roughness measurements, and mechanics of surface contact
- Covers more advanced topics such as fluidic, gaseous, grease, and solid media lubricants, methods for conducing friction and wear laboratory tests, and more
- Includes a wide-range of both traditional and state-of-the-art applications and case studies
Academic researchers, tribologists, materials researchers, mechanical engineering researchers, and professional engineers who encounter tribological issues, Advanced undergrad and graduate students
