Friction is an essential part of human experience. We need traction to walk, stand, work, and drive. At the same time, we need energy to overcome the resistance to motion, hence, too much friction costs excess energy to perform work, introducing inefficiencies. In the 21st century, we are facing the dual challenges of energy shortage and global warming from burning fossil fuels. Therefore, the ...
10.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will only investigate the dry friction or Coulomb friction between two solid bodies. Friction between solid bodies is an extremely compli-cated physical phenomenon. It encompasses elastic and plastic deformations of the surface layers of the contacting bodies, interactions with wear particles, micro-fractures and the restoration of the continuity of ...
