In a fully updated edition,Principles and Applications to Tribology, Second
Editiongives the solid understanding of tribology which is essential to
engineers whilst designing and ensuring the reliability of machine parts and
systems. It moves from basic theory to practice, examining tribology from the
integrated viewpoint of mechanical engineering, mechanics, and materials
science. It offers detailed coverage of the mechanisms of material wear,
friction, and all of the major lubrication techniques - liquids, solids, and
gases - and examines a wide range of both traditional and state-of-the-art
applications. For this edition the author includes updates on friction and wear
as well as completely revised material including the latest breakthroughs
