all the information you need in one convenient source
Conventional tribology has become well established in the past fifty years but the few
handbooks that exist are dated. The rapid evolution of micro- and nanotribology will cause it to
take center stage for the next decade, but much of the new information has not made it into the
hands that need to use it. Extensively illustrated and well-researched, the Modern Tribology
Handbook gives you comprehensive information on conventional topics and, more importantly,
emphasizes all industrial applications, including the fundamentals of the emerging field of
micro-and nanotribology.
