A wide variety of materials is being used in biomedical engineering for various functions. This includes a range of ceramics, polymers and metallic materials for implants and medical devices. A major question is how these materials will perform inside the body, which is very sensitive to alien materials. The material must not only survive to perform its intended function but also not initiate any damage to the surrounding tissue or induce a wider health problem. The service characteristics of implanted materials are of vital concern to health treatments that alleviate ageing.This book...

Engineering Tribology, 4th Edition is an established introductory reference focusing on the key concepts and engineering implications of tribology. Taking an interdisciplinary view, the book brings together the relevant knowledge from different fields needed to achieve effective analysis and control of friction and wear.

Updated to cover recent advances in tribology, this new edition includes new sections on ionic and mesogenic lubricants, surface texturing, and multiscale characterization of 3D surfaces and coatings. Current trends in nanotribology are discussed, such as those...

Engineering Tribology, Fifth Edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to key concepts and engineering implications of tribology, bringing together the relevant knowledge needed from different fields to achieve effective analysis and control of friction and wear. This edition has been updated to include new content on the computational evaluation of cavitation effects in hydrodynamic bearings, the electrical properties of lubricants, coverage of gas and foil bearings, local directional, fractal signature methods, tribochemistry and mechanical activation, removal of oxide films, models of...
