Principles of Engineering Tribology:
Fundamentals and Applications introduces readers to the core theories
and fundamentals of the field, its basic terminology and concepts, as
well as advanced topics such as the tribological properties of various
engineering surfaces, roughness measurements, and the mechanics of
surface contact. The fundamentals of friction and wear of metallic and
non-metallic materials such as polymers, ceramics, rubbers, and
composites are discussed, as are fluidic, gaseous, grease, and solid
media lubrication techniques.
In addition, the properties of
lubricants and various types of additives incorporated are discussed,
along with a methodology for conducting friction, wear and lubrication
laboratory testing and an overview of simulation and modeling methods
for various tribosystems. Case studies and applications are featured
throughout, with a particular emphasis on analyzing failure modes of
tribosystems.
