Synopsis

This 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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“The book covers a pretty wide variety of topics for a small book, thus providing the reader with a cognizant perspective on subjects that the reader might have only encountered in passing but about which he might yet be curious. This book makes for a delightful read and, while certainly technical in nature, a person with a minimal knowledge of the world of tribology can readily follow and understand the particular subject being discussed. Eddy and Nic are masters of simple, clear explanations as exhibited in their columns and often with a little humor, interjected for good measure.” Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers This book is a compilation of witty and insightful short pieces on scientific developments in the science of friction, lubrication and wear.
