Total tribology : engineering lubrication and wear lifecycle

Section A: principles, concepts and trends: total tribology - the practice of considering tribology at all stages of the life cycle of interface components the possible impact of tribology on future machine design foresight - the experience of the materials panel and the potential for total tribology materials in tribology - opportunities and challenges hard tribological coatings - developments and applications trends in lubrication trends in fluid lubrication use of solid lubricants tribology - a key element in condition monitoring. Section B1 Practice - manufacturing: the role of tribology in manufacturing processes product design for process capability porous ceramic water hydrostatic bearings design of abrasive machining processes metal-working fluids and some of their environmental impacts ecological and cost-efficient solutions for metal cutting fluids and machine tool lubrication. Section B2 Practice - transport powerplant: on the lubrication of power plants tribology in aerospace a tribological tour of the internal combustion engine friction prediction and cold starting of diesel engines.
