The Friction and Lubrication of Solids (International Series of Monographs on Physics)

By David Tabor and Frank Philip Bowden

Originally published in 1950, this classic book was a landmark in the development of the subject of tribology. For this edition, David Tabor has written a new preface, reviewing the many advances made in this field during the past 36 years and outlining the achievements of Frank Philip Bowden. The book covers the behavior of non-metals, especially elastomers; elastohydrodynamic lubrication; and the wear of sliding surfaces, which has gradually replaced the earlier concentration on the mechanism of friction. It remains one of the most interesting and comprehensive works available on a single branch of physics.
