Ebook: Tribology for Engineers: A Practical Guide (Woodhead Publishing in Mechanical Engineering)

Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. This book discusses recent research and applications of principles of friction, wear and lubrication, and aims to provide the fundamentals and advances in tribology for modern industry. The book provides the tribology with special emphasis in surface topography; wear of materials and lubrication, and includes dedicated coverage to the fundamentals of micro and nanotribology. The last two chapters of the book present the advances currently being experienced in tribology in manufacturing and bio and medical tribology, respectively. The book serves as a useful reference for academics, tribology and materials researchers, mechanical, physics and materials engineers, professional in related industries with tribology.
