Riddles and paradoxes of dry friction. Yunin E.K.

This book considers some aspects of the behavior of mechanical systems under the influence of dry friction laws widely used in engineering practice. It is shown in which - sometimes rather unexpected - the effect of friction on the behavior of mechanisms may be manifested, depending on their design parameters and working conditions.

The book will be useful to those who want to get to know this section of the mechanics more deeply, and It is addressed, first of all, to engineers and students of technical universities, as well as to everyone who is interested in the tasks of mechanics - one of the oldest and most interesting sciences.
