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.

Table of Contents
