Machining and Tribology of Advanced Materials: From Coatings, Lubrications, Surface Treatments to Modeling and Simulation

The work provides a comprehensive examination of techniques and challenges that underpin the effective processing and long-term utilisation of advanced materials. Covering the broad range of topics from laser and electrical discharge machining, tribological behaviour of materials like friction or wear mechanisms in composites it presents as well case studies in the aerospace and automotive industries and bioengineering applications.
