As a practical and comprehensive reference sourcebook, Tribology in Machine Design promotes a better appreciation of the increasingly important role played by tribology at the design stage in engineering and will prove to be essential to practicing designers and researchers. 'Strongly recommended for machine designers, and engineers and scientists interested in tribology. It should be in the engineering library of companies producing mechanical equipment.' APPLIED MECHANICS REVIEWS 

Explains the procedures and techniques for applying the principles of tribology to the design of the machine elements. Reveals how algorithms developed from the basic principles of tribology can be used in a range of practical applications in mechanical devices and systems.
