Sliding Friction: Physical Principles and Applications

Persson, Bo N.J.

Sliding friction is one of the oldest problems in physics and important from a practical point of view. 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 such as magnetic storage, recording systems, miniature motors and many aerospace components. This book should be useful to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers who want to understand sliding friction. The book (or parts of it) could also from the basis for a modern undergraduate or graduate course on tribology.
