Friction and Wear of Materials

From Book News, Inc.
Presents the theory of mechanical surface interactions as it applies to friction, wear, adhesion, and boundary lubrication, for mechanical and design engineers, surface scientists, and tribologists. Evaluates properties of materials, and discusses lubricants and the sizes and shapes of wear particles. This second edition incorporates new material on erosive wear, impact wear, and friction, and uses SI units of measurement. Includes sample problems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

Book Description
Friction and Wear of Materials Second Edition Written by one of the world’s foremost authorities on friction, this classic book offers a lucid presentation of the theory of mechanical surface interactions as it applies to friction, wear, adhesion, and boundary lubrication. To aid engineers in design decisions, Friction and Wear of Materials evaluates the properties of materials which, under specified conditions, cause one material to function better as a bearing material than another. Featured also are thorough treatments of lubricants and the sizes and shapes of wear particles. This updated Second Edition includes new material on erosive wear, impact wear, and friction. Professor Rabinowicz’s book will be especially welcomed by mechanical and design engineers, surface scientists, tribologists and others who design, produce and operate products, machines and equipment which involve friction and its effects.
