"This book provides a valuable insight into an important yet obscure subject where there are few available guides. 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.
