Explains the basic measurement techniques, describes the commercially instruments, this fully illustrated text provides an overview of the perception of 3-D topography analysis in the academic world and industry, and the commonly used 3-D parameters and plots for the characterizing and visualizing 3-D surface topography.
Polymers have been used in various forms such as bulk, films, and composites in applications where their friction, wear resistance, and other surface-related properties have been effectively utilized. This book deals with the field of friction, wear, and other surface-related mechanical phenomena for polymers.
Improving our understanding of friction, lubrication, and fatigue, this book presents an approach to tribology that links advances in applied mathematics with problems in tribology related to contact elasticity and fluid film lubrication. It includes end-of-chapter exercises that highlight points for comprehending the material.
There are many occasions when quick solutions to problems in tribology are needed. This book covers tribology in such a way as to provide simple approximate solutions to frequent practical problems. It is suitable to engineering undergraduates and practicing engineers needing a solution to tribological problems.
Provides an understanding of friction and wear using technologies such as lubrication and special materials. This work covers the hydrodynamic aspects of tribology as well as advances in the field of biotribology, with a focus on the engineering applications of tribology.
Sulfide solid lubrication is a vital field of tribology with the potential to save both energy and materials. This book examines the low-temperature sulfuration technology developed in China, as well as two-step methods for preparing sulfide lubrication films.
Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology plays an important role in manufacturing. This book presents the research in the field of tribology from around the globe.
Illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. This text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes.
Tribology is formally defined as the 'science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices'. It includes the research and application of principles of friction, wear and lubrication. This book provides the research and reviews studies in tribology.
