Abstract
The science and technology of tribology is concerned with the optimization of technical systems from the study of friction and wear . The chapter presents an introduction to tribology and gives an overview of the functional and structural parameters of tribological systems . It reviews the basic features of friction , wear , and lubrication and describes measurement , testing , and sensor technology for characterizing tribological systems.
