商品簡介
Explores the role of tribology in the context of product design and how this influences environmental as well as product life-cycle consequences. The 34 papers presented at the September 2000 conference discuss new research on life-oriented products, product life design tools, life-cycle assessment for optimized products, surface engineering, lubricants, test methods, advanced materials, and analytical studies. Topics include increased life cycle due to application of surface coating methods, natural fiber reinforced components for automotive parts, steels nitrided by supersonic expanding plasma jets, food grade cooling oil as a chainsaw lubricant, boundary element analysis of surface ring crack in silicon nitride bearing elements, and effective cluster simulation of polycrystal plasticity.
