Principles and Applications of Tribology: International Series in Materials Science and Technology (Materials Science & Technological Monograph)
(International Series on Materials Science and Technology,...)
International Series on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 14: Principles and Applications of Tribology focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and applications of tribology. The publication first ponders on surface topography and friction of metals. Discussions focus on vacuum conditions, effects of sliding speed, hardening of metals, surface contaminants, metal transfer, elastic contact in metals, basic mechanism of friction, junction growth, photogrammetry, texture measurement, outflow meter, surface prints, and actual contact between surfaces. The text then elaborates on friction of elastomers and various materials and hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Topics include wettability and contact angle, adsorption of lubricants, molecular structure of boundary lubricants, boundary lubrication of metals, velocity distribution, hydrostatic lubrication, friction and wear of diamond, and viscoelasticity. The manuscript also examines bearing design, transportation and locomotion, and automotive applications. The publication is a vital source of information for researchers interested in tribology.
