A fully updated version of the popular Introduction to Tribology, the second edition of this leading tribology text introduces the major developments in the understanding and interpretation of friction, wear and lubrication. Considerations of friction and wear have been fully revised to include recent analysis and data work, and friction mechanisms have been reappraised in light of current developments. In this edition, the breakthroughs in tribology at the nano- and micro- level as well as recent developments in nanotechnology and magnetic storage technologies are introduced. A new chapter on the emerging field of green tribology and biomimetics is included. * Introduces the topic of tribology from a mechanical engineering, mechanics and materials science points of view * Newly updated chapter covers both the underlying theory and the current applications of tribology to industry * Updated write-up on nanotribology and nanotechnology and introduction of a new chapter on green tribology and biomimetics * Enables readers to reinforce their knowledge of the topic with a newly added problems section which features on the book's companion website

(The increasing demand for higher-density, highly reliable...)
The increasing demand for higher-density, highly reliable recordings within the magnetic recording industry requires a fundamental understanding of the tribology and mechanics of the magnetic head-medium interface. This first-of-its kind monograph offers a systematic compilation of current knowledge of tribology as applied to magnetic storage devices. It treats all important practical aspects including friction, interface temperatures, wear, lubrication, lubricants, and surface finishing (machining). The book first develops a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms before addressing a diversity of practical applications. Wherever possible, theories and types of experimental measurements are discussed and compared for corroboration and to further understanding. In addition, the book incorporates ample experimental data, relevant properties of materials and surfaces, making the book more useful to engineers and scientists working in the field. It is intended for graduate students of tribology and mechanics research workers, and the practicing engineer who needs to solve quickly a tribological or reliability problem. Many of the theories presented are very general and applicable outside magnetic-storage systems.

(Since 2004 and with the 2nd edition in 2006, the Springer...)
Since 2004 and with the 2nd edition in 2006, the Springer Handbook of Nanotechnology has established itself as the definitive reference in the nanoscience and nanotechnology area. It integrates the knowledge from nanofabrication, nanodevices, nanomechanics, Nanotribology, materials science, and reliability engineering in just one volume. Beside the presentation of nanostructures, micro/nanofabrication, and micro/nanodevices, special emphasis is on scanning probe microscopy, nanotribology and nanomechanics, molecularly thick films, industrial applications and microdevice reliability, and on social aspects. In its 3rd edition, the book grew from 8 to 9 parts now including a part with chapters on biomimetics. More information is added to such fields as bionanotechnology, nanorobotics, and (bio)MEMS/NEMS, bio/nanotribology and bio/nanomechanics. The book is organized by an experienced editor with a universal knowledge and written by an international team of over 150 distinguished experts. It addresses mechanical and electrical engineers, materials scientists, physicists and chemists who work either in the nano area or in a field that is or will be influenced by this new key technology.
