一、摩擦学概述 (一) 摩擦学的研究对象摩擦学(Tribology)这个名词只是近十多年来才出现的,它是由希腊词“Tribos”(意即摩擦)派生出来的。其含义为“摩擦的科学”。其定义为“研究相对运动表面相互作用的科学与技术”。通俗一点说,摩擦学是研究两表面摩擦、磨损、润滑的科学与技术的总称。 I. Overview of Tribology 1. Tribology The term tribology emerged only in the last ten years or so. It was derived from the Greek word “Tribos.” Its meaning is “science of friction.” It is defined as “science and technology that studies the relative interaction of the moving surfaces.” Ordinarily, tribology is a general term for science and technology that studies the friction, wear and lubrication of two surfaces.
