Tribology

Part of the fifth edition of the classic Rolling Bearing Analysis, this book builds a basic understanding of the fundamentals underlying the use, design, and performance of rolling bearings. It serves as a stand-alone introduction cutting across the array of disciplines necessary to evaluate and com..

This book demonstrates how to control mechanisms of contact mechanics, heat generation and transfer, friction, noise generation, lubrication, and surface damage due to mechanical and thermal variables. Friction and Lubrication in Mechanical Design reviews various classical and new tribology problems..

From the history of friction studies to the evolution of measurement instruments, this volume provides a broad, multidisciplinary overview of the field. Expanded coverage in this edition includes the effects of engine conditioning on lubricant frictional characteristics and the role of friction in a..

By understanding what mode of friction, wear, or erosion predominates in a mechanism or device, you can reduce negative effects. This book is a collection of examples from 50 years of tribology consulting and research, complete with detailed explanations of every friction, wear, and erosion process...

Under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms and various patterns, which can reduce friction and wear. This book presents a fresh perspective on friction and tribology by combining mechanical and thermodynamic approache..

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. I..

This is the first English language book to describe the most precise processes available for finishing the surfaces of mechanical as well as electronics and semiconductor components. The Handbook of Lapping and Polishing begins with an introduction focused on the fundamental concepts and the basics ..

Certain to become an industry standard, this volume culled from the Second Edition of the Handbook of Tribology and Lubrication, Volume 1 shows how lubrication maintenance fits into an overall proactive maintenance program. Edited by two of the most respected names in the field, and written by leadi..

Lubrication in Practice..

This book discusses manufactured carbon for the purposes of being a self-lubricating material for mechanical devices. Topics include; properties and graphite crystals, properties of manufactured carbon, the manufacture of carbon articles, machining carbon, carbon in mechanical seals, bearings, rotar..

Glass and ceramics are brittle in nature, but are often used in electronics, space, defense, biomedical, and many day-to-day applications, where mechanical disintegration may cause total failure of the application. Evaluation and in-depth knowledge of nanomechanical characterization helps to improve..

This complete reference covers the properties of materials, lubricant viscosities, and design, friction and wear formulae. The book includes military, industrial and automotive lubricant specifications; evolving areas of friction and wear; performance and design considerations for machine elements, ..
