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

04.12.2019 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 2,142 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 […]
