TRIBO-FATIGUE

Wear-Fatigue Damage and its Prediction

  • Systemizes the research at the border between tribology (friction and wear), fatigue, and reliability theory
  • Provides methods for prediction and analysis of wear-related failure
  • Gives design principles for active systems in order to minimize wear fatigue
  • Describes test methods and machines

Part of the book series: Foundations of Engineering Mechanics (FOUNDATIONS)

About this book

Fatigue and wear are the most damaging phenomena affecting machines since they result in some 90% of breakdowns. This tutorial book systematically develops a unified overview, named tribo-fatigue, which aims to address the complex wear-fatigue damages. Tribo-fatigue synthesizes aspects of three disciplines: mechanical fatigue, tribology, and reliability of mechanical systems.

Tribo-fatigue opens new perspectives for increasing the durability of machines according to the most important criteria of their serviceability. Detailed damage measurement and wear-fatigue tests that enable engineers to design more durable and reliable systems are developed. The book is intended for advanced students, researchers and engineers.
