This invaluable reference deals with the processes of friction and wear. It recommends optimal parameters of materials and the most efficient types of joint design. The principles of both material selection, surfacing machining and assigning the performance regimes are considered. Topics discussed include: Fundamental principles of the interaction of solids due to external (rubbing) friction, Methods for the determination of the tribotechnical characteristics that are necessary for the calculation of the friction forces and the rate of wear, Sleeve bearings, Flat sliding supports, Frictional power transmissions, and Friction in screw and interference fit joints.

The legendary Dr. Taguchi's comprehensive system of quality engineering is one of the great engineering achievements of the twentieth century. In this pioneering work, Dr. Taguchi uses easy to understand examples to show engineers and managers how to bring the immense power of his quality engineering methods upstream to develop the robust technologies that are essential for rapidly creating new product, refining existing ones, and manufacturing higher quality products at significantly lower cost. Contents include: Quality and Productivity, Methods for Evaluating Quality, Methods for Specifying Tolerances, Quality Management for Production Processes, and Parameter Design.
