This book describes for the first time a simulation method for the fast calculation of contact properties and friction between rough surfaces in a complete form

The present book is a collection of open-access papers describing the foundations and applications of the Method of Dimensionality Reduction (MDR), first publis

This application-oriented book introduces readers to the associations and relationships between contact mechanics and friction, providing them with a deeper und

This open access book contains a structured collection of the complete solutions of all essential axisymmetric contact problems. Based on a systematic distincti

Friction and the interaction of surfaces can usually be felt at the scale of the contacting bodies. Indeed, phenomena such as the frictional resistance or the o
