Description for Wear: Materials, Mechanisms and Practice
Hardcover. This excellent publication is the culmination of an idea spawned from a special issue on Wear in the Journal of Engineering Tribology that was guest edited by the author. Editor(s): Stachowiak, Gwidon W. Series: Tribology in Practice Series. Num Pages: 478 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TGBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 252 x 173 x 31. Weight in Grams: 1030.
Tribology is emerging from the realm of steam engines and crank-case lubricants and becoming key to vital new technologies such as nanotechnology and MEMS. Wear is an integral part of tribology, and an effective understanding and appreciation of wear is essential in order to achieve the reliable and efficient operation of almost any machine or device. Knowledge in the field has increased considerably over recent years, and continues to expand: this book is intended to stimulate its readers to contribute towards the progress of this fascinating subject that relates to most of the known disciplines in physical science.
