DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS OF TRIBOLOGY: Part 16 SOCIAL FUNCTIONS OF TRIBOLOGY

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2013, Vol 248, Issue 2

Abstract

The article presents the description of the basic functions of tribology as an independent scientific field. It represents an attempt to generalise the tasks of tribology that are quite often formulated in the literature, especially tasks of technical importance. The article discusses the social functions of tribology. The evolution of the social functions of tribology is also presented, which arises from technological development needs. It draws attention to the increasing role of the methods of reducing of the role of friction in mechanisms.
