Opis

From the history of friction studies to the evolution of measurement instruments, Friction Science and Technology provides a broad, multidisciplinary overview of the field. Expanded coverage in this edition includes the effects of engine conditioning on lubricant frictional characteristics and the role of friction in automotive and truck brakes, including brake testing methods, and the friction of footware and biomaterials. The text updates ASTM standards and offers a case study that describes how a new standard for piston ring and liner friction was developed. Other new topics include ultra-low friction films, friction stir welding, friction stir processing, and friction drilling.
