Produktbeschreibung

Engineering Tribology, Fifth Edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to key concepts and engineering implications of tribology, bringing together the relevant knowledge needed from different fields to achieve effective analysis and control of friction and wear. This edition has been updated to include new content on the computational evaluation of cavitation effects in hydrodynamic bearings, the electrical properties of lubricants, coverage of gas and foil bearings, local directional, fractal signature methods, tribochemistry and mechanical activation, removal of oxide films, models of mechanical activation, advancing tribology with artificial intelligence, modeling, and simulation, and much more.Suitable as an introductory text, this book is also relevant for those working in applied chemistry and bioengineering. - Offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the mechanisms of lubrication, friction, and wear - Updated to include new coverage of tribochemistry, modeling and simulation techniques, impact wear in percussion drilling, local direction fractal signature methods, artificial intelligence and tribology, and more - Outlines new modeling and simulation techniques, introduces the topic of superlubricity, and discusses the reactive nature of commonly used metals

Autorenporträt

Gwidon W. Stachowiak is an Emeritus Professor at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, working in tribology for more than 40 years. He has taught tribology in Australia, Japan, and Switzerland. 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. He was awarded the Doctor Honoris Causa from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France, and the Tribology Gold Medal.
