世界正在进入海洋大发展时代,各种海洋装备蓬勃发展,这些海洋装备在苛刻海洋环境中的摩擦学问题对摩擦学科技工作者提出新的挑战。分析海洋环境及其介质特性,认为复杂的海洋环境使得海洋开发和营运于海洋环境的装备面临各种因素的耦合作用;阐述海洋摩擦学的内涵及其研究范畴,认为海洋摩擦学的主要研究对象是各种海洋开发和营运于海洋环境的装备,研究重点是腐蚀与摩擦等多学科交互作用机理、海洋环境动态变化下的长效可靠性、海洋生物与海洋装备的运动与密封件的侵蚀机理以及深海工程的摩擦学问题等。对船舰、海洋结构物、水下航行器/水下空间站、海洋可再生能源开发利用中的各种摩擦学问题及其研究进展进行综述分析,提出将海洋摩擦学作为一个独立的具有自身体系的新兴摩擦学研究领域。
With the rapid development of ocean industry, all kinds of ocean equipments have been developed significantly. Tribological problems originated from these ocean equipments in harsh ocean environments are becoming new challenges for tfibologists. The ocean environment and the properties of ocean water medium are analyzed. It is believed that harsh ocean environment makes the ocean development and operation of marine equipments in the marine environment suffered from coupling actions of various factors. The connotation of ocean tribology and its research scopes have been fully analyzed. The main research objects of ocean tribology are various ocean development and equipments operated in the marine environment. Researches concentrate on the interaction mechanism among corrosion, friction and other multidisciplinary, the long-term reliability under marine environmental dynamic changes, the erosion mechanism among marine biology, marine equipment movement and seals, and ocean engineering tfibology problems etc. The research progresses of various tribological problems in ocean tribology aspects, including the ships, offshore structures, underwater vehicles and ocean renewable energy, have been reviewed and presented in the manuscript. Furthermore, the ocean tribology has been proposed as a new independent tfibology branch with its own system.
