| An important volume in the “Tribology in Practice Series” (TIPS). This classic work edited by the world-renowned tribologist Professor Kragelsky, has been updated by Professor Nikolai Myshkin and Dr Mark Petrokovets to provide a valuable and unique reference source. The extra data, along with the original material, make this book an essential for all tribologists. Tribology – Lubrication, Friction and Wear is comprehensive and authoritative. It brings together information that is unavailable elsewhere. Much of the information is in a form directly useable by engineers involved with design and troubleshooting on tribological devices. The information is very practical in nature and directly useful to all engineering designers and tribologists.
