A solid understanding of tribology is essential for engineers in many fields working to design and ensure the reliability of machine parts and systems. Moving from basic theory to practice, this book covers the subject from the integrated viewpoint of mechanical engineering, mechanics, and materials science. It describes in detail the mechanism of material wear, friction, and all of the major lubrication techniques--liquids, solids, and gases--before concentrating on a wide range of applications.
