Tribology Testing: Replicating Real World Engineering Systems explores the gap that exists between standard tests, procedures and the systems they are intended to reproduce. The author draws on decades of experience working in both commercial and academic tribological tests to provide proven techniques to successfully and efficiently bridge that gap. This is essential reading for any researcher or engineer who is working with the results of tribology tests, but it is also an ideal reference for anyone interested in increasing the efficiency of tribology research.

Biografisk notat

Peter M Lee is a Principal Engineer - Tribologist at Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas. He started life as a motor vehicle technician before obtaining an Automotive Engineering Degree at University of Leeds in the UK. After achieving a phd in Engine Tribology, he spent five years continuing his studies with a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship. He has since spent his entire tribology career assisting clients with replicating real situations and obtaining meaningful and useful data from tribology rigs.
