Dieses Standardwerk zur Tribologie behandelt ausführlich die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen von Reibung und Verschleiß und beschreibt praxisnah Methoden und Technologien zur Optimierung tribologisch beanspruchter technischer Systeme. Die neue Auflage wurde durch den Buchteil Overview of Tribology mit international gebräuchlicher Terminologie und kompakten Text-Graphik-Illustrationen substantiell erweitert.

Dieses Handbuch behandelt anschaulich die Grundlagen von Reibung und Verschleiß und beschreibt Methoden und Technologien zur Optimierung tribologisch beanspruchter technischer Systeme. Schwerpunkte sind die tribologische Mess- und Prüftechnik in der Makro-, Mikro- und Nanotechnik und das Reibungs- und Verschleißverhalten metallischer, keramischer und polymerer Konstruktionswerkstoffe. Die verschiedenen Verschleiß-erscheinungsformen werden illustriert durch einen Verschleißatlas.Die...

The book gives a systematic and detailed description of a new integrated product and process development approach for sheet metal manufacturing. Special attention is given to manufacturing that unites multidisciplinary competences of product design, material science, and production engineering, as well as mathematical optimization and computer based information technology. The case study of integral sheet metal structures is used by the authors to introduce the results related to the recen...

This open access book reports on methods and technologies to describe, evaluate and control uncertainty in mechanical engineering applications. It brings together contributions by engineers, mathematicians and legal experts, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on the main issues affecting uncertainty throughout the complete system lifetime, which includes process and product planning, development, production and usage. The book is based on the proceedings of the 4th International Conf...

This open access book reports on innovative methods, technologies and strategies for mastering uncertainty in technical systems. Despite the fact that current research on uncertainty is mainly focusing on uncertainty quantification and analysis, this book gives emphasis to innovative ways to master uncertainty in engineering design, production and product usage alike. It gathers authoritative contributions by more than 30 scientists reporting on years of research in the areas of engineerin...
