| dc.description | AbstractTribology, the science and engineering of solid surfaces in moving contact, is a field that encompasses many disciplines: solid state physics, chemistry, materials science, and mechanical engineering. In spite of the practical importance and maturity of the field, the fundamental understanding of basic phenomena has only recently been attacked. In this paper we will attempt to define some of these problems and indicate some profitable directions for future research. We make three broad classifications: (1) fluid properties--compression, rheology, additives and particulates; (2) material properties of the solids--deformation, defect formation and energy loss mechanisms; and (3) interfacial properties--adhesion, friction chemical reactions, and boundary films. Research in the categories has traditionally been approached by considering macroscopic material properties. Recent activity has shown that some issues can be approached at the atomic level: that is, the atoms in the materials can be manipulated both experimentally and theoretically, and can produce results related to macroscopic phenomena. This experimental and theoretical activity is reviewed and related to the traditional research areas. |
