Description

Offering a balanced presentation of theory, application, classical forms, and cutting-edge technologies, "Applied Tribology" focuses on the design and analysis of machine elements. In particular, it covers tribology in bearings and demonstrates the application of the same principles to other machine components, including piston pins, piston rings, pumps, hydraulic lifts, wet clutches, and more. Maintaining a balance between theoretical analysis and practical experience, this book offers numerous examples to reinforce concepts and shares procedures for the design and performance analysis of components. It provides treatment of the full Reynolds equation to support the understanding of computer solutions for evaluating load capacity, power loss, temperature rise, and material and lubrication factors in machine element behavior. Its coverage also includes: properties of mineral and synthetic oils and greases, guidelines for lubricant supply systems, properties of full-film bearing alloys and partially lubricated materials, an entire chapter on gas bearing applications in high-speed machines and computer read-write devices, performance analyses and application limits for ball and roller bearings, and 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 book for practicing engineers and machine designers.
