The Mathematical Methodology of Tribology

This page deals with the mathematical principles that underlie the major concepts of tribology. When two surfaces come into contact, the main considerations of tribologists lie with the nature of the surfaces involved and the forces that exist at their interface. Animations are used in the following pages to illustrate some of the concepts.

  • The Nanoscale

  • Surface Roughness

  • The Modeling of Adhesion

  • Finite Element Analysis
