Book 19
Coverage of critical cutting-edge topics including MEMS, nanotribology and magnetic surface storage technologies. Integrates the knowledge of tribology from mechanical engineering, mechanics, and materials science points of view. Covers both the underlying theory and the current applications of tribology to industry.
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.
