Abstract

In the preceding chapter, we discussed the basic principles of mechanical contact of rough surfaces, friction, wear, and self-lubrication. Physically, friction and wear are related to the Second law of thermodynamics, since they are the result of the tendencies of energy to dissipate and material to deteriorate. Friction and wear are complex phenomena which do not have single mechanisms, but rather involve physical and chemical process of a different nature. However, there are certain general rules of friction and wear, such as the linearized Coulomb–Amontons and Archard laws, which apply universally to various mechanisms. This makes it attractive to try to deduce common empirical laws of tribology directly from thermodynamic principles, such as the Second law and concepts of nonequilibrium (irreversible) thermodynamics.
