Acoustic Emission in Friction is devoted to acoustic, mainly ultrasonic, emission that occurs in friction of machine components. Its crucial novelty is in systematizing the advances in its use for monitoring technical systems, especially in the important nuclear power industry.

Written by four well-known experts from the main nuclear research university in Russia, this book covers the following areas:

• All the sources of acoustic emission in friction
• The theory of acoustic emission
• The effects of surface conditions, load and velocity on acoustic...
