Beschreibung
This application-oriented book introduces the associations and relationships between contact mechanics and friction, enabling a deeper understanding of tribology. It deals with the related phenomena of contact, adhesion, capillary forces, friction, lubrication, and wear from one consistent point of view. The author presents (1) methods for rough estimation of tribological quantities, (2) simple and general methods for analytical calculations, and (3) the transition to numerical simulation methods. Through these approaches, the book conveys a coherent view of tribological processes across a wide range of scales, from nanotribology to geophysical applications.
System-dynamic aspects of tribological systems, such as squeal, friction-induced instabilities, and pattern formation, are also discussed. The book contains numerous problems and worked solutions, giving readers the opportunity to apply the theory to practical situations and deepen their understanding of the material.
The third edition has been revised and expanded with additional material on rough-surface contact mechanics. The chapters on contact mechanics have been extended and reorganized, including additional sections on superposition methods, dimensionality reduction, and two-dimensional (plane-strain) contact mechanics, as well as numerous new examples and exercises, further strengthening the book both as an introduction and as a reference work.
Further additions include applications of the superposition principle to inclined indenters, receding contact, energy dissipation due to adhesion, and adhesive impact phenomena.
The author
Prof. Dr. Valentin L. Popov studied physics and obtained his doctorate from the Moscow State Lomonosow University. He worked at the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After a guest-professorship in the field of theoretical physics at the University of Paderborn, he has headed the department of System Dynamics and Friction Physics in the Institute of Mechanics at the Berlin University of Technology since 2002. His areas of interest, among others, include tribology, nanotribology, tribology at low temperatures, biotribology, the influence of friction through ultrasound, numerical simulation of frictional processes, research regarding earthquakes, as well as themes relating to materials sciences such as the mechanics of elastoplastic media with microstructure, strength of metals and alloys, and shape memory alloys. He is the joint editor of international journals and regularly organizes international conferences and workshops over diverse tribological themes.
