After introductory  chapters on scientific and engineering perspectives, the next section  contains the necessary background within the areas of contact  mechanics, surfaces and adhesion. Then on to fracture, deformation and  interface shear, from the macroscopic behavior of materials in  frictional contact to microscopic models of uniform and granular  interfaces. Lubrication by solids, liquids and gases is presented  next, from classical flow properties to the reorganization of  monolayers of molecules under normal and shear stresses. A section on  new approaches at the nano- and atomic scales covers the physics and  chemistry of interfaces, an array of visually exciting simulations,  using molecular dynamics, of solids and liquids in sliding contact,  and related AFM\/STM studies. Following a section on machines and  measurements, the final chapter discusses future issues in friction.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401052498\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2811-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 621\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398552481932,"sku":"9789401052498","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401052498.jpg?v=1771511924","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401052498","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
