DESCRIPTION:
Mich_blizzard said Excellent reference. Very thorough guide through the explanation of the origin of frictional effects and methods for calculation of the same. Probably graduate level reading, but still accessible with college level technical education. Vastly improved my understanding of friction beyond the basic “Dry Coulomb friction” law taught in high school.. Frieder said Excellent overview with emphasis on the physical principles. Many different mechanisms can give rise to energy dissipation is sliding friction, depending on whether you are dealing with dry friction, boundary lubrication, hydrodynamic lubrication, or maybe electronic friction. In Bo Persson's book the physical models that capture the essential mechanisms of each regime are clearly described. At the same time, the reader learns about many recent (as well as classical) experiments in the field, including a broad list of references . . Understanding friction This book is an excellent introduction to the physics of sliding friction. It puts an emphasis on the microscopic mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of friction. Everything is explained in a very clear way. Mathematics is kept to a minimum and only used to clarify things. The book also covers, in contrast to traditional books on tribology, topics like the friction on superconductors. I can recommend this book to both experienced scientists and graduate students who are
This book will be useful to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers who need to understand sliding friction. The ability to produce durable low-friction surfaces and lubricant fluids has become an important factor in the miniaturization of moving components in many technological devices, e.g., magnetic storage, recording systems, miniature motors and many aerospace components. This second edition covers several new topics including friction on superconductors, simulations of the layering transition, nanoi
New topics covered in this second edition include nanoindentation, wear in combustion engines, effects of humidity, rolling and sliding of carbon nanotubes and the friction dynamics of granular materials. magnetic storage, recording systems, miniature motors, and aerospace components. The ability to produce durable low-friction surfaces and lubricant fluids has become an important factor in the miniaturization of moving components in many technological devices, e.g. This monograph will be useful to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers who want to understand sliding friction. . This book presents a broad overview of friction and an in-depth treatment of several fundamental and related topics. From the Back Cover Sliding friction is one of the oldest problems in physics and certainly o
