Selected Topics in Contact Mechanics and Nanotribology

Selected Topics in Contact Mechanics and Nanotribology

Driven by recent developments in nanotechnology and materials modeling and simulations, our understanding of contact mechanics, and more specifically of solid friction down to the nanometer scale, is experiencing a period of exceptional growth. Since a dedicated handbook would be not enough to summarize the latest experimental and theoretical achievements, we focus on two selected topics, which will hopefully stimulate the reader to examine the specialized literature in the growing field of nanotribology.
