Mechanical Wear Fundamentals
and Testing
Second Edition
by Raymond G. Bayer

Written by a tribological expert with more than thirty years of experience in the field, this Second Edition compiles an extensive range of graphs, tables, micrographs, and drawings to illustrate wear, friction, and lubrication behavior in modern engineering applications.

Mechanical Wear Fundamentals and Testing promotes a clear understanding of wear testing methodologies for avoidance and resolution of deterioration and weakening in specific engineering designs.
