This book is focuses on novel materials for advanced engine design. It
includes the study of friction, wear, lubrication, suitable lubricant
additives, and durability of different engine components of
alcohol/biodiesel fueled engines. The contents highlight different
lubrication systems to overcome friction and wear problems of automotive
transportation systems. It also discusses different materials for future
applications, wear of wheels and axels of locomotives, friction-induced
noise and vibration and tribological behavior of texture surfaces in the
automotive transport sector. This book will be of interest to those in
academia and industry involved in alternative fuels application in IC
engines, friction and wear study of various engine components,
lubrication approaches and different additives of lubricants, and novel
materials for advanced engine design.
