Tribology Series 01. A systems approach to the science and technology of friction, lubrication, and wear

Czichos Horst. — Elsevier Science Ltd., 1978. — 417 p. — (Tribology Series). — ISBN: 0444416765.This volume gives a systematic unified approach to tribology: the fundamentals of friction, lubrication and wear and their influences on the structure and function of dynamic mechanical systems. Since friction is responsible fur a major loss of useful mechanical energy, and wear is a major reason for replacing equipment, a better understanding and utilization of the principles of tribology is particularly important for the conservation of energy and materials in engineering design.
