Friction affects so many aspects of daily life that most take it for granted. Arguably, mankind's attempts to control friction date back as far as the invention of the wheel. Friction Science and Technology presents a broad, multidisciplinary overview of the constantly moving field of friction, spanning from the history of friction studies to the evolution of measurement instruments. It reviews the gamut of friction test methods ranging from simple inclined plans to sophisticated laboratory tribometers.
