Third Edition
By
Gwidon Stachowiak, Tribology Laboratory, University of Western Australia
A W Batchelor, Research Manager, Hydrocool Pte. Ltd., Australia
Description
As 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.
New to this edition are end-of-chapter problems
and an accompanying solutions manual, increasing the book's value as a textbook. The book offers an extensive range if illustrations
which communicate the basic concepts of tribology in engineering better than text alone. All chapters include an extensive list of references
and citations to facilitate further in-depth research and thorough navigation through particular subjects covered in each chapter.
Audience
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical/materials engineering, involved in the design of gears, bearings, or wear-resistant
components. Professional engineers involved with fluid mechanics, lubrication, biomedical technology and other related areas.
