[From the preface]
This volume gives a systematic unified approach to tribology: the fundamentals of friction, lubrication and wear and their influences on the structure and function of dynamic mechanical systems. Since friction is responsible fur a major loss of useful mechanical energy, and wear is a major reason for replacing equipment, a better understanding and utilization of the princip les of tribology is particularly important for the conservation of energy and materials in engineering design.
