Motohisa Hirano

Friction at the Atomic Level (eBook, ePUB)

Atomistic Approaches in Tribology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Written by one of the most distinguished scientists and a pioneer in this field, this monograph represents a stand-alone, concise guide to friction at the atomic level. It brings together hitherto widely-scattered information in one single source, and is the first to explain the nature of friction in terms of atomistic mechanisms. In addition to his detailed description on modeling and simulation, the author stresses experimental approaches like AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) techniques for verification of theory. In this respect the book will benefit the whole nanotribology community, from graduate students who want to get the basics right up to researchers specializing in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics and chemistry.

Autorenporträt

Motohisa Hirano was born in 1957 in Gamagori City, Aichi, Japan. Following his graduation from the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, in 1982, he joined Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation in the same year. After working for Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (1985-2003) and serving as a professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Gifu University (2003-2014), he has been serving as a professor at the faculty of Science and Engineering, Hosei University, since 2014. He obtained doctoral degrees in engineering in 1989, from Nagoya University, and in science in 1998, from the University of Tokyo. Professor Hirano has authored over 200 scientific publications on engineering and science on the atomistics of friction and nanotribology. Laboratory HP: http://hirano-lab.ws.hosei.ac.jp/index\_j.html
