Engineering Tribology [Paperback]

Engineering Tribology is ideal for a first course and as a reference.Engineering Tribology by John Williams of Cambridge University is an ideal textbook for a first tribology course and a reference for designers and researchers. Engineering Tribology gives the reader interdisciplinary understanding of tribology including materials constraints. Real design problems and solutions, such as those for journal and rolling element bearings, cams and followers, and heavily loaded gear teeth, elucidate concepts and motivate understanding. This work integrates qualitative and quantitative material from a wide variety of disciplines including physics, materials science, surface and lubricant chemistry, with traditional engineering approaches.Engineering Tribology by John Williams of Cambridge University is an ideal textbook for a first tribology course and a reference for designers and researchers.
