Tribological Behaviour of Advanced Materials (Paperback)

Tribological Behaviour of Advanced Materials examines the complex discipline of tribology, investigating the frictional, wear, and lubrication properties of cutting-edge advanced materials used in a diverse range of modern engineering applications. The book provides readers (researcher and engineer) with a comprehensive examination of the fundamental mechanisms that control friction, wear, and lubrication in advanced materials and explores important subjects such as surface interactions, contact mechanics, lubrication regimes, and wear mechanisms. It also includes extensive details on tribological characteristics, causes of failure, and methods to improve the performance of different modern materials.

The book equips reader with a profound understanding of the underlying concepts that control tribological behavior. These concrete illustrations will offer valuable perspectives that will empower researchers and engineers to make well-informed decisions when it comes to selecting materials, engineering surfaces, and designing components that fit the final intended use.

• Offers a thorough examination of the tribological characteristics of various types of advanced materials, including carbon-based materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and diamond-like carbon, as well as ceramics, metallic glasses, polymer nanocomposites, and biomaterials
• Provides detailed analysis of the fundamental causes of friction, wear, and lubrication, along with the most recent advancements in surface modification methods
• Offers guideline instructions for choosing materials, considering tribological design and implementing strategies to enhance the efficiency and longevity of components and systems manufactured from these sophisticated materials
• Includes case studies and practical applications that demonstrate the effective utilization of modern materials in tribological systems in the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and energy sectors
