Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic
Tribological experiments suggested by Leonardo da Vinci
Dynamic and static coefficients of friction
Open system tribology – wheel-rail contact in winter
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding or grinding against each other. Types of friction include dry, fluid, lubricated, ski
