"Should have broad appeal in many kinds of industry, ranging from
automotive to computers-basically any organization concerned with
products having moving parts!" -David A. Rigney, Materials Science
and Engineering Department, Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
In-Depth Coverage of Frictional Concepts Friction affects so many
aspects of daily life that most take it for granted. Arguably,
mankind's attempt to control friction dates back to the invention
of the wheel. Friction Science and Technology: From Concepts to
Applications, Second Edition presents a broad, multidisciplinary
overview of the constantly moving field of friction, spanning the
history of friction studies to the evolution of measurement
instruments. It reviews the gamut of friction test methods, ranging
from simple inclined plans to sophisticated laboratory tribometers.
The book starts with introductory concepts about friction and
progressively delves into the more subtle fundamentals of surface
contact, use of various lubricants, and specific applications such
as brakes, piston rings, and machine components. Includes American
Society of Testing and Management (ASTM) Standards This volume
covers multiple facets of friction, with numerous interesting and
unusual examples of friction-related technologies not found in
other tribology books. These include: Friction in winter sports
Friction of touch and human skin Friction of footware and
biomaterials Friction drilling of metals Friction of tires and road
surfaces Describing the tools of the trade for friction research,
this edition enables engineers to purchase or build their own
devices. It also discusses frictiona
