This invaluable reference deals with the processes of friction andwear. It recommends optimal parameters of materials and the mostefficient types of joint design. The principles of both materialselection, surfacing machining and assigning the performanceregimes are considered.

Topics discussed include: Fundamental principles of the interactionof solids due to external (rubbing) friction, Methods for thedetermination of the tribotechnical characteristics that arenecessary for the calculation of the friction forces and the rateof wear, Sleeve bearings, Flat sliding supports, Frictional powertransmissions, and Friction in screw and interference fit joints.
