Monograafia annab ülevaate TTÜs aastakümnete jooksul tehtud tahkete osakeste põhjustatud erosiooni/kulumise uuringutest, mis olid siiani lääne teadlastele kättesaamatud.

This monograph covers erosion caused by solid particles. Research into the problems of erosion and development of the testing method and equipment started in 1955 at Tallinn Technical University. Over 30 theses dealing with the problem of erosion and 100 research projects ordered by industry have been completed.
Before the 1990s these reports and publications, mainly written in Estonian and Russian, remained unknown to scientist and engineers in the west. This monography attempts to provide a systematic review accessible to a reader in English.
