About this ebook
Engineering Tribology, Fourth Edition is an established introductory reference focusing on the key concepts and engineering implications of tribology. Taking an interdisciplinary view, the book brings together the relevant knowledge from different fields needed to achieve effective analysis and control of friction and wear. Updated to cover recent advances in tribology, this new edition includes new sections on ionic and mesogenic lubricants, surface texturing, and multiscale characterization of 3D surfaces and coatings. Current trends in nanotribology are discussed, such as those relating to lubricants, coatings and composites, and geotribology is introduced. Suitable as an introductory text, a refresher or an on-the-job reference, Engineering Tribology, 4th Edition is intended for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students in mechanical engineering as well as professional engineers. It is also relevant to those working in materials engineering, applied chemistry, physics and bioengineering. - Offers a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of wear, lubrication and friction in an accessible manner designed to aid novice engineers, non-specialists and students - Provides a reader-friendly approach to the subject using illustrations to break down the typically complex problems associated with tribology - Includes end-of-chapter problems to test understanding
About the author
Gwidon W. Stachowiak is an Emeritus Professor at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, working in tribology for more than 40 years. He has taught tribology in Australia, Japan, and Switzerland. His research interests include the development of methods for description of multiscale 3D surface topographies, tribocorrosion, and optimization of 3D surface textures for hydrodynamic contacts. He was awarded the Doctor Honoris Causa from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France, and the Tribology Gold Medal.Andrew W. Batchelor has been involved in tribology for 30 years and has taught tribology at universities in Australia, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and India. He has written books on topics relating to materials degradation, biomaterials and bioengineering. Andrew is the founding editor of a book series on biomaterials and has projects on the useful application of friction and wear phenomena.
