Principles And Applications Of Tribology 2Ed (Hb 2013) Hardcover

Principles and Applications of Tribology, 2nd Edition (2013) by Bharat Bhushan, is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook that offers an in-depth exploration of tribology—the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. This edition provides a solid understanding essential for engineers involved in the design and reliability of machine parts and systems. It integrates mechanical engineering, mechanics, and materials science perspectives to examine tribology from basic theory to practical applications. The book covers detailed mechanisms of material wear, friction, and all major lubrication techniques—liquids, solids, and gases—and explores a wide range of traditional and state-of-the-art applications. Notably, the second edition includes updates on friction, wear, and lubrication, along with completely revised material incorporating the latest breakthroughs in tribology at the nano- and micro-levels. A new chapter introduces the emerging field of green tribology and biomimetics, reflecting the evolving landscape of tribological research and its applications in sustainable engineering practices.
