Introduction to Tribology - by Bharat Bhushan (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Der Autor kombiniert hier Auszüge aus seinem Handbuch 'Principles and Applications of Tribology' mit aktuellsten Forschungsergebnissen auf den Gebieten der Nanotribologie, der mikroelektromechanischen Systeme (MEMS) und der Speicherung auf magnetischen Flächen. Die Tribologie, die Wissenschaft der Reibungsprozesse, wird interdisziplinär eingeführt, wobei Aspekte aus dem Maschinenbau, der Mechanik und der Materialwissenschaft gleichermaßen Berücksichtigung finden. Eine gelungene Mischung aus theoretischen Grundlagen und praktischen Anwendungen!

From the Back Cover

Complete coverage from fundamentals to cutting-edge applications

A solid understanding of tribology is essential for engineers in many fields working to design and ensure the reliability of machine parts and systems. This Introduction to Tribology presents detailed coverage of the mechanisms of friction, material wear, and all major lubrication techniques-liquids, solids, and gases-along with traditional and state-of-the-art applications, as well as the latest material coverage of micro/nanotribology, MEMS, and magnetic surface storage applications.

The underlying theory and current applications of tribology are covered in an integrated treatment taken from a mechanical engineering, mechanics, and materials science point of view. This book's straightforward presentation begins with the principles of tribology and prepares readers to understand the industrial applications of tribology. The principles of tribology and the emerging field of micro/nanotribology are then explored, and, finally, the author looks at tribological components and applications.

Complete with exercises and problems, Introduction to Tribology is invaluable to mechanical, chemical, and materials engineers in product and process design, as well as students in mechanical, chemical, and materials engineering and physics courses.
