Fundamentals Of Fluid Film Lubrication

Focusing on fluid film, hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic lubrication, this work studies the principles of fluid film lubrication for the design of bearings, gears and rolling operations, and for the prevention of friction in engineering designs. It explains theories, procedures and equations for improved solutions to machining challenges. Specifically focusing on fluid film, hydrodynamic, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication, this edition studies the most important principles of fluid film lubrication for the correct design of bearings, gears, and rolling operations, and for the prevention of friction and wear in engineering designs. It explains various theories, procedures, and equations for improved solutions to machining challenges. Providing more than 1120 display equations and an introductory section in each chapter, Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication, Second Edition facilitates the analysis of any machine element that uses fluid film lubrication and strengthens understanding of critical design concepts.
