Tribology and Wear of Materials

Tribology and Wear of Materials: Mechanics, Testing, and Computational Modeling helps readers better understand fundamental wear issues and develop expertise in connecting wear with structure or microstructure and material properties. Computational modeling techniques for achieving better wear control are covered at length, as are new techniques in surface protection and analyzing corrosive wear. Wear behavior of various engineering materials such as metallic materials, ceramics, polymers, and more are outlined, and key parameters for wear control are identified for each, along with the fundamentals of surface interactions, analytical techniques, and material properties based on atomic interaction.

• Outlines computational tribology techniques and approaches, thus allowing for better performance prediction
• Discusses nanostructured, pseudoelastic, high entropy alloys and other new materials with tribological applications
• Covers various wear modes such as abrasive, adhesive, erosive, corrosive/oxidative and fretting
• Analyzes surface adhesion and its crystallographic anisotropy with the broken-bond model
