Print on Demand. This book explores the rich tapestry of human history through the lens of friction, an ever-present force that has shaped our technological and societal development. The author delves into the earliest observations of friction by Coulomb and Morin, tracing its significance in diverse fields from mechanics and engineering to architecture and textile manufacturing. The book also examines the interplay between friction and wear, highlighting their crucial roles in understanding phenomena such as the formation of sand dunes and the erosion of mountains. It further investigates the role of friction in biological systems, shedding light on aspects such as animal locomotion and the functioning of joints. The author's meticulous analysis and engaging prose provide a comprehensive understanding of friction, its diverse manifestations, and its profound implications across multiple disciplines. This book is an invaluable resource for scientists, engineers, historians, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the physical world and its impact on human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Comprendre la friction et les forces qui freinent le mouvement .
Cet ouvrage expose, de façon accessible, les lois fondamentales qui gouvernent la résistance au glissement et au roulement, et montre comment ces principes s’appliquent aux machines et aux structures.
Le texte présente l’évolution des idées, depuis les premières hypothèses sur le frottement jusqu’aux expériences qui ont permis d’établir des relations entre la pression, l’étendue des surfaces et la résistance au mouvement. Des expériences célèbres de Coulomb et les vérifications modernes de Morin complètent le cadre, avec des applications pratiques pour les systèmes de poulies, treuils et autres mécanismes courants en ingénierie.- Découvrir les notions de frottement de glissement et de roulement, et leur rôle dans la résistance au mouvement.
- Comprendre comment la résistance dépend de la pression normale et peut varier avec les surfaces en contact.
- Voir des exemples d’appareils et de méthodes pour analyser l’équilibre et les efforts dans des systèmes simples et complexes.
- Apprécier l’évolution historique des lois du frottement et leur application numérique.

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
