{"product_id":"tribology-irving-russo-9781639876983","title":"Tribology: Friction and Wear of Engineering Materials","description":"Tribology is an interdisciplinary subject that studies the interaction between sliding surfaces. It deals with three major concepts namely friction, wear and lubrication. Friction refers to the resistance encountered by a body when sliding past another. It is a branch of mechanics. High friction is required for the smooth functioning of nuts and bolts, paper clips, and tongs. Friction is also essential for walking, maintaining a grip over objects and building piles of objects. Wear can be defined as the removal of material from a solid surface as a result of the mechanical action exerted by another solid. To control the losses caused due to friction and wear, a friction-reducing film is introduced between the moving surfaces that are in contact and this process is called lubrication. Thus, a proper understanding of tribological processes is required to improve standards of design and increase engineering efficiency. This book provides comprehensive insights into the subject of tribology. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying this topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irving Russo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639876987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639876983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Murphy \u0026amp; Moore Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.88h x 8.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Irving Russo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245105115391,"sku":"9781639876983","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_180a64af-9a4b-4cdd-bd46-3084d9aa6890.jpg?v=1693926155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tribology-irving-russo-9781639876983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
