Friction will cease publication with Springer Nature on completion of Volume 12/2024. The journal will continue in cooperation with Tsinghua University Press from Volume 13/2025.

The friction coefficient, also commonly called the coefficient of friction, is a dimensionless quantity whose magnitude indicates the relative ease of initiating or sustaining relative motion between …

A few common friction measurement methods are described here, and the reader is referred both to the bibliography and to other application-specific articles in this encyclopedia for additional …

Figure 6 presents the comparison between predicted angle of friction by using Eq. 4 and experimental angle of friction for the observed SPT N value from the recorded data. The data …

Friction is a single-blind peer-reviewed open access journal for the publication of theoretical and experimental research works related to the friction, lubrication and wear.

The key to reducing energy consumption is to control the way of energy dissipation in the friction process. However, due to many various factors affecting friction and the lack of efficient …

TRIBOLOGY – the study of friction, wear and lubrication – impacts almost every aspect of our daily lives.

Friction modifiers form a film in mixed conditions which reduces asperity contact and thereby reducing friction. Some authors prefer using the term boundary lubrication in place of mixed …

In slip base approaches it is assumed that the value of friction in the saturated area of slip curve can be estimated based on the slope of the curve in low slip region (linear region). This study …

Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and mechanisms of …
