Tribological Behaviour of Advanced Materials

Tribological Behaviour of Advanced Materials presents the latest developments in this important research field. The book examines the complex discipline of tribology, investigating the frictional, wear, and lubrication properties of cutting-edge advanced materials used in a diverse range of modern engineering applications. It will provide the reader (researcher and engineer) with a comprehensive examination of the fundamental mechanisms that control friction, wear, and lubrication in advanced materials and explores important subjects such as surface interactions, contact mechanics, lubrication regimes, and wear mechanisms. It includes extensive details on tribological characteristics, causes of failure, and methods to improve the performance of different modern materials. The book will equip the reader with a profound understanding of the underlying concepts that control tribological behavior. These concrete illustrations will offer valuable perspectives, that will empower the researcher and engineer to make well-informed decisions when it comes to selecting materials, engineering surfaces, and designing components that are fit for the final intended use.
