Synopsis

Exploring the rudimentary lubrication concepts employing solids, liquids, and grease, Friction Science and Technology describes material-based treatments of friction...discusses how to control transitions in friction...surveys classical friction theory in relation to the atomic scale...provides numerous examples and data tables for the understanding of friction through experiments...covers friction transitions, friction curve analysis, and various approaches to the graphical portrayal of friction data...reviews the practical applications for automobile engines and brakes, mechanical seals, and friction in metalworking and machining...shows how to diagnose troublesome conditions in unsteady frictional behavior, the running-in of machines, and related variability in friction...examines the frictional behavior of metals, ceramics, polymers, and other materials, including diamonds and ice...and more.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work offers a multidisciplinary approach to static and kinetic friction, both with and without lubrication, and reviews the conventional and novel methods used to measure friction. The elementary problems found in the mechanics of sliding objects and machine components, and the effects of contact pressure, sliding speed, surface roughness, humidity and temperature on friction, are discussed.;College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price, available upon request.
