Synopsis

Tribocorrosion: Fundamentals, Methods, and Materials provides a balanced coverage of recent advancements in both experimental and computational areas of tribocorrosion, covering the basic concepts of tribology and electrochemistry, as well as testing set-ups, protocols, electrochemical methods, and more. It outlines experimental methods, demonstrating the different effects of material loss due to mechanical and electrochemical actions and looks at their effects in applied automotive, aerospace and biomedical settings. Standard testing protocols, tribocorrosion mechanisms in sliding contacts, and modeling and simulation techniques are all covered at length, as is bio-tribocorrosion and the best ways to prevent it.

• Provides a complete overview of tribocorrosion testing, experimentation and modeling methods that in turn empower safer, environmentally-friendlier and cost-saving applications
• Balances experimental and computational methods, thus encouraging readers to define and develop experimental and investigative techniques specific to their tribo-system of interest
• Covers tribocorrosion behavior in passive and non-passive metals and alloys, coatings, modified surfaces, metal matrix composites, and more

About the Authors

Arpith Siddaiah is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests include the study of tribology, tribocorrosion, corrosion, surface energy, surface enhancements and texturing, laser-based tribological enhancements, nanocomposite coatings, and additive manufactured metallic materials. His expertise in tribology, surface engineering, CAD/CAM, GD&T, and automated manufacturing has enabled him to be involved in innovative R&D projects and produce 19 research articles (5 more to be published by the end of the year), 14 conference publications, and 4 patents in progress

Dr. Ramachandran received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. During his Ph.D. he worked on engineering and applications of hydrophobic and icephobic materials. He currently teaches courses on computer methods for engineers, dynamics, and heat transfer. His research interests include surface engineering, wetting, adhesion, and hydrophobic and icephobic materials.

Dr. Pradeep L. Menezes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, USA. Before joining this university, he worked as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM), and as a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Menezes’s productive research career has produced more than several peer-reviewed journal publications book chapters, books related to tribology and a patent. He teaches Introduction to Tribology, Advanced Tribology, Surface Engineering, Introduction to Manufacturing Processes, Mechanical Design, and Engineering Composites. He participated in many national and international conferences in roles such as conference paper reviewer, conference review committee member, conference technical committee member, session chairman, Paper Solicitation Chair and technical session organizer.
