Written by a tribological expert with more than thirty years of experience in the field, Mechanical Wear Fundamentals and Testing, Second Edition compiles an extensive range of graphs, tables, micrographs, and drawings to illustrate wear, friction, and lubrication behavior in modern engineering applications. The author promotes a clear understanding of wear testing methodologies for avoidance and resolution of deterioration and weakening in specific engineering designs. Comprehensively describes more than 20 different phenomenological wear tests and over 10 operational wear tests

A modern presentation of approaches to wear design, this significantly revised and expanded Second Edition offers methods suited for meeting specific wear performance requirements; numerous design studies highlighting strategies for use with different tribological elements and mechanical systems; proven tactics for resolving wear-related problems; and a plethora of real-world case studies. Engineering Design for Wear explores the complex wear behavior of materials as it concerns design and depicts contemporary engineering models used for predicting wear. Revised and expanded, this new edition offers numerous additions and enhancements including a new chapter on design triage, and much more. TOC:
