Abstract

This chapter addresses some of the basic mechanical and chemical issues affecting tribology in a broad range of macroscale applications such as space; automotive; rail transport; earthmoving, mining, and mineral processing; marine equipment; and gas and steam turbines. Many of the featured system's successes rely on understanding and solving tribological issues involving friction, lubrication, and wear of mating components. In many instances, solutions require a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the desired efficiency, reliability, compliance, and safety necessary to ensure economical and feasible operation. The presented topics were chosen to illustrate the broad range and importance that tribology plays beyond the traditional industrial and manufacturing applications, as well as to illustrate the numerous encounters of tribology in our lives.
