Engineering TribologyAuthor(s): Gwidon Stachowiak, Andrew W Batchelor\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780750678360, 978-0750678360\nSynopsis\nAs with the previous edition, the third edition of Engineering Tribology provides a thorough understanding of friction and wear using technologies such as lubrication and special materials. Tribology is a complex topic with its own terminology and specialized concepts, yet is vitally important throughout all engineering disciplines, including mechanical design, aerodynamics, fluid dynamics and biomedical engineering. This edition includes updated material on the hydrodynamic aspects of tribology as well as new advances in the field of biotribology, with a focus throughout on the engineering applications of tribology. This book offers an extensive range if illustrations which communicate the basic concepts of tribology in engineering better than text .
