Themain purpose ofthis bo ok is to promote a better appreciati

increasingly important role played by tribology at the desig

tribologists fail to presen t their results and ideas in terms of prin

discussed

in

Chapters

4 5

and 6

respectively. Chapter

7

contains

a

discussion of rolling contact bearings with particular emphasis on contact

problems surface fatigue and lubrication techniques. Finally Chapter 8

concentrates

on

lubrication

and

surface failures

of

inv olut e gears.

At

the end of

Chapters

2-8

there

is a list of

books

and

selected papers

providing further reading on matters discussed in the particular chapter.

The choice of

reference

is rather personal and is not intended as a

comprehensive literature survey.

The book is based largely on the notes for a course of lectures on

friction

and

lubrication application

to

to

students

in the

Dep artment of Mechanical Engineering Technical U nive rsity of Gda nsk

and in the

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to some of my

former

colleagues from theTechnical Un iversity ofGdansk wheremy owns tudyof

I owe a

particular debt

of

gratitude

to Dr B. J.

Briscoe

of

the

Imperial College

of

Science

and

who

helped

me in

many

different

ways

continue

research

in

this subject. Finally special
