Drawn from presentations at a recent National Science Foundation
Summer Institute on Nanomechanics, Nanomaterials, and
Micro/Nanomanufacturing, Micro- and Nanoscale Phenomena in
Tribology explores the convergence of the multiple science and
engineering disciplines involved in tribology and the connection
from the macro to nano world. Written by specialists from
computation, materials science, mechanical engineering, surface
physics, and chemistry, each chapter provides up-to-date coverage
of both basic and advanced topics and includes extensive references
for further study.
After discussing the evolution of tribology in the micro and
nano world, the book describes contact conditions spanning between
macroscale and nanoscale contacts. It presents an overview of
fundamental continuum treatments of interfacial contact and
lubrication under a wide range of conditions, including novel
advances in contact simulation. It also gives a thorough account of
the nature of surface energies and forces in nanostructures as well
as adhesion in dry and wet environments. The book then explains how
to perform friction measurements at the nanoscale and interpret
friction data before demonstrating how micro- and nanotextured
surfaces affect adhesion, friction, and wetting. The final chapters
emphasize the importance of surface chemistry and molecular
dynamics simulation in tribology.
With numerous examples and figures throughout, this volume
presents a thorough account of important advancements in tribology
that offer insight into micro- and nanoscale phenomena. By enabling
a better understanding of fundamental micro- and nanoscale
interactions, the book helps readers effectively design and
fabricate durable tribological components for various engineering
and biological systems.
