OverviewThis book is a compilation of witty and insightful short pieces on scientific developments in the science of friction, lubrication and wear. It focuses on topics that are of interest to practicing scientists, engineers and students in tribology and related areas, and deals with novel and intriguing aspects of this important field. In addition, landmarks of the last decade of tribology are covered, including new world records for low friction and breakthroughs in measurement technology. This anthology, which was originally published over a decade as columns entitled Cutting Edge in Tribology & Lubrication Technology magazine of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, is both educational and entertaining. While the style is eminently readable, each column is accompanied by references to the relevant literature.Contents: Opinions and PeopleFundamentals of Friction and DamageLubricating Hard DrivesNew MaterialsNew MethodsBiotribologyThe Contact ConundrumTTribochemistryReadership: Researchers, scientists and students in tribology, materials study, friction and lubrication research.Key Features: Informative: on new developments in tribologyEntertaining: written in a witty styleAuthoritative: authored by the editors of the top-ranked tribology journal Full Product DetailsAuthor: Nicholas D Spencer (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland) , Wilfred T TysoePublisher: World Scientific Publishing Company Imprint: World Scientific Publishing Company ISBN: 9789814656566ISBN 10: 9814656569 Pages: 301 Publication Date: 01 January 2015 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Electronic book text Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock  We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
