Overview

Devoted to the specific topic of friction, this book provides details of scientific and engineering perspectives, and background within the areas of contact mechanics, surfaces and adhesion. Topics also covered include fracture, deformation and interface shear, from the macroscopic behaviour of materials in frictional contact to microscopic models of uniform and granular interfaces; lubrication by solids, liquids and gases, from classical flow properties to the reorganization of monolayers of molecules under normal and shear stresses; new approaches at the nano- and atomic scales, covering the physics and chemistry of interfaces, an array of visually exciting simulations, using molecular dynamics, of solids and liquids in sliding contact, and related AFM/STM studies; and future issues in friction.
