Abstract

Fatigue is a stern scourge of modern machinery; friction is an amazing phenomenon of nature; wear is a crafty enemy of any system which moves or is deformed. Tribo-Fatigue is the unifying science that treats fatigue, friction and wear. In this paper presented a brief review of some studies lying on the path from Mechanics of fatigue fracture and Tribology to Tribo-Fatigue, new and perspective section of mechanics.
