A Tribology Casebook is different to other engineering books
in that it describes what actually happens under real life
operating conditions. By presenting a collection of
incidents drawn from practice, this book illustrates the practical issues and problem solving approaches needed to deal with real situations that engineers are likely to come
across in their working lives.
