Study Notes

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
There are several types of friction, including dry, fluid, lubricated, skin, and internal friction.

Consequences of Friction

Friction can have dramatic consequences, such as starting a fire by rubbing pieces of wood together.
Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy whenever motion with friction occurs, for example when a viscous fluid is stirred.
Friction can lead to wear, which may cause performance degradation or damage to components.

Characteristics of Friction

Friction is a non-conservative force, meaning that work done against friction is path dependent.
In the presence of friction, some kinetic energy is always transformed to thermal energy, so mechanical energy is not conserved.
Friction is not a fundamental force.

Dry Friction

Dry friction arises from a combination of inter-surface adhesion, surface roughness, surface deformation, and surface contamination.
