Tribology for Engineers: A Practical Guide
Woodhead Publishing Ltd, January 2011, Pages: 320
"Tribology for engineers" discusses recent research and applications of principles of friction, wear and lubrication, and provides the fundamentals and advances in tribology for modern industry. The book examines tribology with special emphasis on surface topography, wear of materials and lubrication, and includes dedicated coverage on the fundamentals of micro and nanotribology. The book serves as a valuable reference for academics, tribology and materials researchers, mechanical, physics and materials engineers and professional in related industries with tribology.
Key features:
- edited and written by highly knowledgeable and well-respected researchers in the field
- examines recent research and applications of friction, wear and lubrication
- highlights advances and future trends in the industry
Review:
"As a whole the book contains interesting, practically useful material perfectly tallied by the editor."
