Book description
A fully updated version of the popular Introduction to
Tribology, the second edition of this leading tribology text
introduces the major developments in the understanding and
interpretation of friction, wear and lubrication. Considerations of
friction and wear have been fully revised to include recent analysis
and data work, and friction mechanisms have been reappraised in light
of current developments.
In this edition, the breakthroughs in tribology at the nano- and
micro- level as well as recent developments in nanotechnology and
magnetic storage technologies are introduced. A new chapter on the
emerging field of green tribology and biomimetics is included.
- Introduces the topic of tribology from a mechanical engineering,
mechanics and materials science points of view
- Newly updated chapter covers both the underlying theory and the
current applications of tribology to industry
- Updated write-up on nanotribology and nanotechnology and
introduction of a new chapter on green tribology and biomimetics
- Enables readers to reinforce their knowledge of the topic with a
newly added problems section which features on the book's companion website
Dr Bhushan is Ohio Eminent Scholar and The Howard D. Winbigler
