Journal of Friction and Wear

This journal publishes theoretical and experimental papers on all aspects of the science of friction, lubrication and wear. Launched in 1980 at the initiative of V.A. Belyi, I.V. Kragelskii and others, the journal today remains the primary source of information on tribological studies in the Former Soviet Union. Topics covered in the journal are:\r\n\r\nFriction physics and tribosystem thermodynamics\r\nSurface characterization\r\nWear monitoring\r\nSurface engineering\r\nNanotribology\r\nContact mechanics\r\nMetal fatigue, wear susceptibility measurement\r\nWear-resistant materials, coatings\r\nTribology of friction pairs, durability analysis\r\nBearings: contact interaction, thermoelasticity\r\nLubricants, surfactants, grease fillers\r\nTribological design, optimization, testing\r\nTribology of alloys, self-lubricating polymers, antifriction materials\r\nBiotribology\r\n\r\nThe Journal of Friction and Wear is an indispensable reference for an extensive audience of specialists in mechanics, physics, chemistry, materials science, production engineering and lubrication engineering.
