Total Tribology

Ian Sherrington and W. B. Rowe are the authors of Total Tribology: Towards an Integrated Approach, published by Wiley.

A "Tribology in Practice Series" (TIPS) title.

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.
