About this title

Synopsis

Tribology, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, is currently in a state of flux characterized by numerous challenges and counter-challenges to the facts and theories that have been proposed. With each passing year, however, the subject grows in importance: energy consumption that must be minimized, and the durability of machines extended as far as possible. This volume provides an overview of tribology and a forum for diverse views on this crucial subject. The contributors, representing both industry and academia, are all leading authorities in the field. Their comments and observations will be of great interest to researchers in mechanical engineering, materials science, energy technology, and industry.

Contents: Preface and Introduction; Surface Topography; Physical Properties; Chemical Properties; Surface and Interfacial phenomena; Friction; Wear Mechanisms; Thermochemical Effects; Wear in Processing; Polymer Wear; Wear Monitoring; Wear Prevention; Boundary Lubrication; Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication; Systems Approach; Documentation of Tribology Literature.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
