FRICTION is the resistance to movement of one body over body. The word comes to us from the Latin verb fricare, which means to rub. The bodies in question may be a gas and a solid (aerodynamic friction), or a liquid and a solid (liquid friction); or the friction may be due to internal energy dissipation processes within one body (internal friction). | g Q M VOLUME 18 Friction Lubrication and Wear Technology ASM INTERNATIONAL The Materials Information Company Publication Contributors Information and Friction Lubrication and Wear Technology was published in 1992 as Volume 18 of the ASM Handbook.
