Fundamentals of Fluid Film LubricationThe first of its kind in the area of lubrication, an emerging discipline within engineering, Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication is written by the world's leading expert - an internationally renowned engineer. The result of many years of research and teaching, this book has become the culmination of Bernard Hamrock's knowledge of tribology and promises to have an impact on the engineering world. There is a comprehensive treatment of hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic lubrication and contains many detailed practical examples, applications, and end-of-chapter exercises. Together, the reader will finish this book and walk away with an understanding and the ability to properly analyze any machine element that uses fluid film lubrication. |
