Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Tribology
Diana Berman, Andreas Rosenkranz, Max Marian
Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Tribology introduces the rudiments of engineering surfaces and teaches the basic phenomena of interacting surfaces in relative motion, major modes of friction and wear, and theories of contact evolution and lubrication. Fundamental topics include friction, wear, and lubrication; surface properties and surface topography; friction of surfaces in contact; wear and surface failures; biotribology; boundary lubrication; fluid properties; hydrodynamic lubrication; bearing selection; and introductory micro- and nanotribology. This book also considers the relationship between nano- and macrotribology, rolling contacts, tribological problems in magnetic recording and electrical contacts, and monitoring and diagnosis of friction and wear.
Offers a comprehensive review of the fundamentals, providing basic information for scientists and engineers just being introduced to the tribology field
Teaches tribological methods of measurements and characterization
Includes examples of real-life tribological problems and case studies of engineering problems and solutions
Gives an overview of current advancements in the field
Features end-of-chapter problems, solutions to exercises, and accompanying video content for reinforcement of material
This textbook is written for students taking courses in tribology and lubrication, as well as surface engineering. It will also appeal to scientists and engineers who are new to tribology.
The text also offers sample laboratory demonstrations available to qualifying adopting professors.
