Principles and Applications of Tribology, Second Edition

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.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–8): Chapter 2 Structure and Properties of Solids (pages 9–82): Chapter 3 Solid Surface Characterization (pages 83–179): Chapter 4 Contact between Solid Surfaces (pages 181–269): Chapter 5 Adhesion (pages 271–320): Chapter 6 Friction (pages 321–401): Chapter 7 Interface Temperature of Sliding Surfaces (pages 403–445): Chapter 8 Wear (pages 447–544): Chapter 9 Fluid Film Lubrication (pages 545–653): Chapter 10 Boundary Lubrication and Lubricants (pages 655–688): Chapter 11 Nanotribology (pages 689–788): Chapter 12 Friction and Wear Screening Test Methods (pages 789–803): Chapter 13 Bulk Materials, Coatings, and Surface Treatments for Tribology (pages 805–897): Chapter 14 Tribological Components and Applications (pages 899–947): Chapter 15 Green Tribology and Biomimetics (pages 949–962):
