Tribology for Scientists and Engineers: From Basics to Advanced Concepts

This book describes available tribology technologies and introdces a comprehensive overview of tribology. General, up-to-date knowledge on how tribology is approached in various related areas of research, both experimental and computational is provided. Dr.  Pradeep L. Menezes, Dr. Michael Nosonovsky, and Dr. Michael R. Lovell are faculty members at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Sudeep Ingole is a faculty member at the Marine Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. Professor Satish V. Kailas is a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Science.
