Synopsis

This book delves into the complex world of friction, a force that has long fascinated scientists and engineers. The author, drawing on a wealth of historical research and experiments, examines the different types of friction, from the rolling friction of wheels on roads to the sliding friction of axles in their bearings. The book charts the progression of our understanding of friction, beginning with the pioneering work of Amontons and Coulomb in the 17th and 18th centuries and progressing to the more comprehensive research of General Morin in the 19th century. The text explores the theoretical underpinnings of friction and its practical application in various fields, including the design of vehicles, machinery, and railroads. The book's thorough analysis of the various factors influencing friction, such as pressure, velocity, and the nature of the surfaces involved, provides valuable insights into the challenges and solutions associated with minimizing friction and maximizing efficiency in mechanical systems.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
