DESCRIPTION

Friction, Wear, Lubrication: Tribology Handbook(Volume 2)I.v. Kragelsky and v.v. AlisinMir publishersISBN: 1860582885"Recent years have seen the advent and development of a third branch of machine design, which has been called tribology (after the Greek word 'tribos' meaning to rub). The essence of this branch of study is research into the contact area.The frictional forces not only reduce the useful power of engines, but also cause changes in the dimensions of mating parts and, consequently, impair the accuracy of machines.Under unfavourable conditions, external friction is transformed into internal friction causing the galling of frictional surfaces, which may lead to their seizure, that is, to a failure in the machine."This book is no longer published.
