Tribology is related to friction, wear and lubrication of machine elements. Tribology not only deals with the design of fluid containment systems like seals and gasket but also with the lubrication of surfaces in relative motion. This book comprehensively discusses the theories and applications of hydrodynamic thrust bearing, gas (air) lubricated bearing and elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication. It elucidates the concepts related to friction, including coefficient of friction, friction instability and stick-slip motion. It clarifies the misconception that harder and cleaner surfaces produce better results in wear. Recent developments, including online condition monitoring (an integration of moisture sensor, wear debris and oil quality sensors) and multigrid technique, are discussed in detail. The book also offers design problems and their real-life applications for cams, followers, gears and bearings. MATLAB programs, frequently asked questions and multiple choice questions are interspersed throughout for easy understanding of the topics.

The book presents select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Materials for Sustainable Future (ICAMSF 2025), highlighting innovative developments in surface engineering, surface coatings, wear resistance, friction reduction, lubrication technologies, and eco-friendly tribological processes. It presents pioneering research and technological advancements in the field of tribology with a strong emphasis on sustainability and advanced materials.The book showcases contemporary research aimed at enhancing the performance, durability, and energy efficiency of engineering systems while addressing global sustainability challenges. It explores emerging materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and environmentally responsible tribological solutions applicable across automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, biomedical, and industrial sectors.With contributions from leading researchers, academicians, and industry experts, this book serves as a valuable reference for industrialists, engineers, scientists, academicians, researchers, and postgraduate students working in the areas of advanced materials, surface engineering, and sustainable tribology. It offers both fundamental insights and practical perspectives that support future innovations in sustainable engineering applications.
