Engineering tribology

As with the previous edition, the third edition of Engineering Tribology provides a thorough understanding of friction and wear using technologies such as lubrication and special materials. Tribology is a complex topic with its own terminology and specialized concepts, yet is vitally important throughout all engineering disciplines, including mechanical design, aerodynamics, fluid dynamics and biomedical engineering. This edition includes updated material on the hydrodynamic aspects of tribology as well as new advances in the field of biotribology, with a focus throughout on the engineering applications of tribology.New to this edition are end-of-chapter problems and an accompanying solutions manual, increasing the book's value as a textbook. The book offers an extensive range if illustrations which communicate the basic concepts of tribology in engineering better than text alone. All chapters include an extensive list of references and citations to facilitate further in-depth research and thorough navigation through particular subjects covered in each chapter. \* Includes newly devised end-of-chapter problems, as well as an accompanying solutions manual. \* Provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of wear, lubrication and friction in an accessible manner designed to aid non-specialists.\* Gives a reader-friendly approach to the subject using a graphic illustrative method to break down the typically complex problems associated with tribology.

The reader is first introduced to the fundamental concept of tribology. This concept is then used to show how the various topics in tribology are interrelated to form one coherent subject. Illustrations are widely used throughout the book to assist readers in grasping the fundamental tribological concepts. Mechanisms of wear, friction and lubrication are comprehensively described in an accessible manner that is designed to be helpful to non-specialists. The control of wear is given extensive treatment with a thorough discussion of lubricant additives, solid lubricants and surface coatings. The effectiveness of coatings in suppressing specific forms of wear is described together with the methods of coating deposition. More than 1000 references are provided to give the reader access to more specialized information if required. The numerical analysis of hydrodynamic lubrication is supported by a number of computer programs, written in Matlab, which enable the readers to quantitatively analyze lubrication problems. A careful study of the book will not only enable the readers to understand what tribology is, but also to comprehend how it can be applied to solve problems of mechanical failure, reduce maintenance costs and lower the energy consumption."--BOOK JACKET.
