Book description
This fully updated Second Edition provides the reader with the solid
understanding of tribology which is essential to engineers involved in
the design of, and ensuring the reliability of, machine parts and
systems. It moves from basic theory to practice, examining tribology
from the integrated viewpoint of mechanical engineering, mechanics,
and materials science. It offers detailed coverage of the mechanisms
of material wear, friction, and all of the major lubrication
techniques - liquids, solids, and gases - and examines a wide range of
both traditional and state-of-the-art applications.
For this edition, the author has included updates on friction, wear
and lubrication, as well as completely revised material including the
latest breakthroughs in tribology at the nano- and micro- level and a
revised introduction to nanotechnology. Also included is a new chapter
on the emerging field of green tribology and biomimetics.
Dr Bhushan is Ohio Eminent Scholar and The Howard D. Winbigler
Professor as well as Director of the Nanoprobe Laboratory for Bio-
& Nanotechnology and Biomimetics at The Ohio State University.
During his career he has received a number of awards and accolades as
well as being central to teaching and formulating the curriculum in
Tribology-related topics. He is a Fellow and Life Member of American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, Society of Tribologists and
Lubrication Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, as well as various other professional societies.
