Abstract

In this chapter, the main features of a number of important tribological systems will be presented. Systems from mechanical design are considered together with tribological systems involved in manufacturing processes. A brief description of the relevant design will be provided along with the analysis of the tribological damage. Materials and surface treatments currently used for each application will be also outlined. The overall goal is to provide basic tools for a preliminary design and control of the tribological system under consideration using the information provided in the previous chapters.
