The modern vision of the micromechanism of friction and wear is explored, from the examination of ideal and real crystal structure and adhesion properties to the dynamics of solid frictional interaction. The fundamental quantum-mechanical and relativity principles of particle interaction are considered as basis of friction micro-process examination. The changes in solid structure originated from the influence of different kinds of force fields are considered. The principal possibility of relativity effect manifestation by friction is explained. The critical state of friction – triboplasma – was studied. Structural peculiarities of triboplasma, the kinetics of its transformation during frictional interaction as well as the influence of plasma and postplasma processes on tribojunction friction characteristics and complex formation by friction were examined. The book addresses to tribology researchers.
Centering Pakistan in a story of transnational Islam stretching from South Asia to the Middle East, Simon Wolfgang Fuchs offers the first in-depth ethnographic history of the intellectual production of Shi'is and their religious competitors in this "Land of the Pure." The notion of Pakistan as the pinnacle of modern global...
An Introduction to Programming with C++, Sixth Edition uses the C++ programming
language to teach programming concepts. Th is book is designed for
a beginning programming course. Although the book provides instructions for
using the Microsoft® Visual C++® and Dev-C++ compilers, it can be used with
most C++ compilers, often...
With the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots and advances in mobile-phone technology, there aren't many excuses today for not being in contact with your friends, family and business associates when you travel. Using just your laptop computer and cell phone, you can stay connected from all around the globe. But not so fastdo you...
At least two driving forces have contributed to the recent increased use and development
of multidimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC). These include the high
resolution and peak capacity needed for proteomics studies and the independent size
and chemical structure selectivity for resolving industrial polymers. In this regard,...
The GNU Autotools make it easy for developers to create software that is portable across many UNIX-like operating systems. Thousands of open source software packages use the Autotools, but the learning curve is unfortunately steep, and it can be difficult for a beginner to find anything more than basic reference material on using the powerful...
A few years ago, a bold graduate student in communication, Jack Sargent (now a faculty member and contributor to this book) asked me, and several other experienced researchers who study nonverbal behavior, to be part of a conference panel. At that time, Jack was interested in doing a study that used coding and rating techniques...
