Contents
Introduction -- Surface roughness -- Mechanical properties of solids and real area of contact -- Friction -- Surface energy and capillary pressure -- Surface forces derived from surface energies -- Physical origins of surface forces -- Measuring surface forces -- Lubrication -- Lubrication in tight spots -- Atomistic origins of friction -- Wear -- Index.
Summary
Friction, lubrication, adhesion, and wear are prevalent physical phenomena in everyday life and in many key technologies. This text explains how these tribological phenomena originate from atomistic and microscale physical phenomena and shows how this understanding can be used to solve macroscale tribology problems.
