Tribology is the study of interactions between surfaces or interfaces in relative motion
(“tribos” means “to rub” in Greek). It includes the phenomena of friction, adhesion, and wear …

Macroscopic laws of friction do not generally apply to nanoscale contacts. Although
continuum mechanics models have been predicted to break down at the nanoscale, they …

We review the historical and modern understanding of the most basic equation of friction,
Amontons' law, which describes phenomena that were already understood and studied by …

A Comprehensive Review of Developing Environmentally Friendly Lubricants A push from
environmentally savvy consumers along with recent changes in governmental regulations …

An adhesive elasto-plastic contact model for the discrete element method with three
dimensional non-spherical particles is proposed and investigated to achieve quantitative …

The word tribology originates from the Greek word tribos, which means “friction, rub,
grind,”“to wear away,” or “science of friction.” Tribology is the study of science and …

Friction and wear are detrimental to functionality and reduce the service life of products with
mechanical elements. Here, we unveil the atomic-scale friction of a single tungsten asperity …

In this chapter, we describe the static and dynamic normal forces that occur between
surfaces in vacuum or liquids and the different modes of friction that can be observed …

Friction is a major issue in both the production of textiles and in the finished product. This
authoritative book reviews how friction occurs and the ways it can be measured and …

Large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations are performed to study friction in nanoscale
single asperity contacts. The modeling system consists of a tip made of H-terminated …
