State-of-the-art coverage of biomimetics, as applied to a variety of fields Reviews biomimetic approaches for developing new forms and construction principles in architecture Offers examples from design of tribological surfaces to translation of natural auditory coding strategie…
During the 2010 EFORT Congress in Madrid, many interesting topics relating to tribology in total hip arthroplasty were discussed during a special day devoted entirely to the subject. So successful was the day, and such was the broad interest in the discussions, that EFORT decide…

This book introduces fundamentals of polymers and composites tribology. It suggests a new approach to explore the effect of applied load and surface defects on the fatigue wear behaviour of polymers, using a new tribometer and thorough experiments. It discusses effects of surfac…
Combining the classical theories of contact mechanics and lubrication with the study of friction on the nanometer range, this multi-scale book for researchers and students alike guides the reader deftly through the mechanisms governing friction processes, based on state-of-the-a…
The book not only offers scientists and engineers a clear inter-disciplinary introduction and orientation to all major EHL problems and their solutions but, most importantly, it also provides numerical programs on specific application in engineering.- A one-stop reference provid…
