摩擦学因乔斯特报告的发表而出名,至今已有十多年了。报告中指出,如果适当地应用在轴承、润滑和磨损方面已有的知识,英国每年可节约五亿多英磅。这样庞大的数字相当于国民经济总产值的百分之一余,后经美国和日本分析,也提出节约潜力为本国国民经济总产值的百分之一。虽然报告原先是为适应英国在研究和教育方面的需要而写的,但是只有经济性才是检验这种需要的有力依据。当时,乔斯特报告曾引起人们不少怀疑,主要意见是,估计节约数字所依据的资料出自一份从未发表的秘密调查。
Tribology was famous for the publication of Joust’s report, which has been more than ten years. According to the report, the United Kingdom can save over 500 million pounds a year if knowledge of bearings, lubrication and wear is properly applied. Such a huge figure is equivalent to more than one percent of the gross national product. After the analysis by the United States and Japan, it also proposed that the saving potential be one percent of the gross national product of the country’s economy. Although the report was originally written to meet the UK’s research and education needs, only economics is a strong basis for testing this need. At the time, the Jost report aroused a lot of people’s doubts. The main observation was that the data on which the figures were saved were based on a never-before-released secret investigation.
