This new edition continues to maintain a balance between the 
theory and application of the technology, giving particular 
emphasis to tribology in aerospace equipment, steam and gas 
turbines, motors and generators, transportation and marine 
equipment, and appliances. Since publication of the first edition, 
the authors have published 14 journal articles on new research 
into the field, and this has provided the basis for a thorough 
update of all material as well as 2 entirely new chapters on 
seals and bearing failure modes.
