Published was a monograph Algorithms for the Diagnosis of Sliding Friction Pairs authored by Leonid Vladimirovich Efremov, Professor, Dr Sc. Eng, C.S.O., an employee of Friction and Wear Laboratory.
The book discusses effective ways to diagnose the wear resistance of materials of sliding friction pairs in order to reduce the cost of tribological tests while observing the permissible error of calculations using artificial bases, «block- on-ring», vibration diagnostics and others. Examples of comparative tests of materials in a wide range of their hardness with the calculation of wear in MATHCAD and EXCEL mathematical editors are given. For employees of testing laboratories, teachers and students of technical universities.
