Atomic scale deformation responsible for surface roughness

04.05.2020 tribonet 615 Views

Most of the natural or engineered surfaces are not perfect, meaning they are rough. The surface roughness was found across many scales: from atomic to tectonic. The earth looks smooth from space, but someone standing […]

Tribology on the Small Scale: A Modern Textbook on Friction, Lubrication, and Wear

04.12.2019 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 2,035 Views

In recent decades, tribology field has seen a great interest in friction and wear processes occurring at the micro- and nanoscale. This interest has led to the development of a new branch of tribology focusing on the small […]
