About the Book

The field of tribology encompasses knowledge drawn from the disciplines of mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry and physics. The control of friction and wear, the aim of the subject, is comprehensively and accessibly addressed in this 2nd edition of Engineering Tribology. This interdisciplinary approach has proven to be a very successful way of analyzing friction and wear problems. In conjunction with this 2nd Edition, MATLAB computer programs will be accessible for practical applications via the Butterworth-Heinemann website.

Table of Contents:

About the Author :
Gwidon Stachowiak is a Professor at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, specializing in tribology. 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. 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.

Review :
Reviews of the first edition: "Concepts and theory are presented extremely clearly and supported by excellent diagrams and descriptions. The book can be highly recommended to those engaged in studying or applying tribology. I know of no better book on this topic." Journal of Materials and Processing Technology "The strengths of this book are the comprehensiveness of its coverage and the excellent schematic diagrams of friction and wear mechanisms provided to clarify the text." Industrial Lubrication and Tribology Complicated tribological concepts and theories are introduced extremely clearly. This is one of the reasons why we believe that this book will be beneficial not only for beginners in this field, as it was the authors' original intention of this textbook, but also for experienced specialists. -Tribology International This well-illustrated textbook is a valuable source of information for anyone working and/or studying in the field of tribological and mechanical engineering, i.e. researchers, lecturers, engineers and students. Due to the excellent content of this book, it would even justify a price twice as high as demanded... -Tribology International
