Abstract

This article provides the first comprehensive study of the material relating to sliding bearings, lubrication and wear within the writings of Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). While in many instances he was evidently describing contemporary practice, in other cases he demonstrated great innovation and insight. His descriptions of plain journal and pivot bearings and their materials are far richer than those of any other Renaissance engineer. His ability to classify and analyse his observations led him to highly perceptive conclusions about the effect of loading direction on wear rate and the mechanisms of wear in sliding contacts. In deducing the dependence of wear on load and sliding duration, Leonardo's thinking anticipated that of Reye, Preston and Archard by more than 350 years.

达芬奇关于滑动轴承、润滑和磨损的著作

本文首次全面研究了达芬奇（1452-1519 年）著作中与滑动轴承、润滑和磨损有关的材料。在许多情况下，他显然是在描述当代的实践，而在其他情况下，他则表现出了巨大的创新力和洞察力。他对滑动轴承和枢轴轴承及其材料的描述远比其他文艺复兴时期的工程师丰富。他对观察结果进行分类和分析的能力使他对加载方向对磨损率的影响以及滑动接触磨损的机理得出了极具洞察力的结论。在推断磨损与载荷和滑动持续时间的关系时，莱昂纳多的思想比雷耶、普雷斯顿和阿查德的思想早了 350 多年。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering Tribology publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from academia and industry worldwide on the engineering science associated with tribology and its applications. "I am proud to say that I have been part of the tribology research community for almost 20 years. That community has always seemed to me to be highly active, progressive, and closely knit. The conferences are well attended and are characterised by a warmth and friendliness that transcends national boundaries. I see Part J as being an important part of that community, giving us an outlet to publish and promote our scholarly activities. I very much look forward to my term of office as editor of your Journal. I hope you will continue to submit papers, help out with reviewing, and most importantly to read and talk about the work you will find there."
