Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Tribology [Hardcover]

This text introduces the rudiments of engineering surfaces and teaches basic phenomena of interacting surfaces in relative motion, major modes of friction and wear, and theories of contact evolution and lubrication.

1. Fundamentals of Tribology. 2. Tribological Testing Theory. 3. Liquid Lubrication. 4. Surface Engineering. 5. Applied Tribology: Case Studies. 6. Beyond Traditional Tribology.

Diana Berman is an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas. Her research focuses on synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, surfaces, and interfaces of ceramic and carbonbased materials for precise control and improvement of their tribological properties and functionality. She has published more than 80 papers in peerreviewed journals and holds over 10 patents (both US and international). Among her awards are TechConnect Innovation Awards, Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Early Career Award, UNT Early Career Professorship Award, UNT Research and Creativity Award, NSF Early Career Award, and Fulbright Scholarship Award. She also serves on the editorial boards for Nature Scientific Reports and Tribology Letters journals.

Andreas Rosenkranz is a Professor of Materials-Oriented Tribology and New 2D Materials in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, and Materials at the University of Chile. His research focuses on the characterization, chemical functionalization, and application of new 2D materials. His main field of research is related to tribology (friction, wear, and energy efficiency), but he has also expanded his fields toward water purification, catalysis, and biological properties. He has published more than 160 peerreviewed journal publications, is a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and acts as a scielC'
