From the history of friction studies to the evolution of measurement instruments, this volume provides a broad, multidisciplinary overview of the field. Expanded coverage in this edition includes the effects of engine conditioning on lubricant frictional characteristics and the role of friction in automotive and truck brakes, including brake testing methods. It also explores the friction of footwear and biomaterials. The text presents ASTM standards and offers a case study that describes how a standard for piston ring and liner friction was developed. Other topics covered include ultra-low friction films, friction stir welding, friction stir processing, and friction drilling.
