Download or read book Introduction to Wear written by Aadarsh Mishra and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-05 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the last years, 'Wear' in the field of Tribology is enjoying increased attention from Researchers and Scientists. Despite growing attention towards this topic, there are very less books focusing on it. This topic is often neglected at the Bachelor's and Master's Level in many Universities due to which the concepts of many Graduate engineers are not proper in this topic. There is a growing need for a textbook that can be adopted for Undergraduate or Graduate classroom and for those students who have newly entered in the field of Tribology. The goal of this book is to bridge the gap between the Academic research and the Industrial research. Early career track professionals and university students need concise information of Wear under the broader area of Tribology which this book will precisely provide. This book showcases latest knowledge and Research papers available in the field that will benefit targeted reader from education, engineering industry and scientific disciplines including but not limited to mechanical, materials, manufacturing, tribology and aerospace. This book will find a place in the middle way between research papers and resources like encyclopedia. Initial part of this book includes 'Introduction to wear debris' which consists of subtopics like 'Different types of wear', 'Morphology of wear debris' and 'Factors affecting Wear'. After Introduction, there are 12 chapters which cover important points from many International research papers including some of the Author's International research papers. The typical language of the Research papers has been written in a very simple and concise way, focusing more on the concepts. Due to its unique design, this Book will serve as a good resource until there is a major breakthrough in the field of Tribology and Material Science.

Download or read book Wear of Metals written by A. D. Sarkar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wear of Metals deals with the mechanisms underlying the wear of metals such as brass, cast iron, and aluminum-silicon alloys. Topics covered include surface topography, contact of solids, and friction, along with the effect of sliding and rolling resistance. Fretting, wear under rolling contact, and the friction and wear of polymers are also discussed. Comprised of 27 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of adhesion, types of wear, and friction and wear experiments. The following chapters explore surface topography and the contact (single and multiple) of solids; molecular theory of friction and wear; running-in wear and abrasive wear; and surface contaminants. An oxidational hypothesis of wear is then presented, and the phenomenology of metal transfer involving steel on brass and steel on steel is described. The remaining chapters consider sliding in surfaces and subsurfaces; the effect of temperature and speed on friction and wear; the role of solubility and crystal structure in friction and wear; and wear of brass. The two principal effects associated with rolling, namely, the slip or creep and energy loss, are also examined. Examples of tribological components are given. This book should be of value to undergraduates and research workers in the fields of metallurgy and engineering.

Download or read book Why We Love Dogs Eat Pigs and Wear Cows written by Melanie Joy and published by Red Wheel. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An important and groundbreaking contribution to the struggle for the welfare of animals." -- Yuval Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind The book offers an absorbing look at why and how humans can so wholeheartedly devote ourselves to certain animals and then allow others to suffer needlessly, especially those slaughtered for our consumption. Social psychologist Melanie Joy explores the many ways we numb ourselves and disconnect from our natural empathy for farmed animals. She coins the term "carnism" to describe the belief system that has conditioned us to eat certain animals and not others. In Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, Joy investigates factory farming, exposing how cruelly the animals are treated, the hazards that meatpacking workers face, and the environmental impact of raising 10 billion animals for food each year. Controversial and challenging, this book will change the way you think about food forever. "An absorbing examination of why humans feel affection and compassion for certain animals but are callous to the suffering of others." - Publishers Weekly "I think Gandhi would have loved Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows,. For this is a book that can change the way you think and change the way you live. It will lead you from denial to awareness, from passivity to action, and from resignation to hope." - John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution

Download or read book Friction and Wear written by I V Kragelsky and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friction and Wear: Calculation Methods provides an introduction to the main theories of a new branch of mechanics known as ""contact interaction of solids in relative motion."" This branch is closely bound up with other sciences, especially physics and chemistry. The book analyzes the nature of friction and wear, and some theoretical relationships that link the characteristics of the processes and the properties of the contacting bodies essential for practical application of the theories in calculating friction forces and wear values. The effect of the environment on friction and wear is also considered. Finally, the requirements, which must be fulfilled by the physicomechanical properties of the materials of which contacting bodies are made and which determine their behavior in moving contacts, are formulated. The book will be of interest to a wide circle of readers, e.g. engineers, designers, machine users, and research workers, working on the production of wear-resistant materials and working on the nature of friction and wear.
