Applied tribology

Maintaining a balance between theoretical analysis and practical experience, this hook otters numerous examples to reinforce concepts and shares procedures to the design and performance analysis of components. It provides treatment of the hell Reynolds equation to support the understanding of computer solutions For evaluating load capacity, power loss, temperature I-isr, and material and lubrication factors in machine element behavior. Coverage also includes:

• Properties of mineral and synthetic oils and greases
• Guidelines tot- lubricant supply systems
• Properties of full-film bearing alloys and partially lubricated materials
• An entire chapter on gas hearing applications in high-speed machines and computer rend-write devices
• Performance analyses and application limits for ball and roller bearings
• Problems and projects related to cutting-edge developments in tribology

This versatile, authoritative reference is an important resource for professionals in automotive, aerospace, turbine and compressor, appliance, electric motor, and electronic component/computer design and manufacturing. It is also an excellent text for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference pooh for practicing engineers and machine designers.
