Applications of tribological technology in bearings are wide andvaried in industries ranging from aerospace, marine and automotiveto power, process, petrochemical and construction. AppliedTribology, 2nd edition not only covers tribology in bearings butdemonstrates the same principles for other machine components, suchas piston pins, piston rings and hydrostatic lifts, as well as inmore recent technologies such as gas bearings in high-speedmachines and computer read-write devices.
Maintaining a balance between theoretical analysis and practicalexperience with co-authors from academia and industry, this newedition is significantly revised and expanded with new material.Features include;
* Two brand new chapters on seals and bearing failuremodes and bearing health monitoring techniques
* Coverage of new developments in full-film, dry, andpartial lubrication; gas bearings; and ball and roller bearings
* Design guides based on full Reynolds equation thatenable accurate prediction of load capacity, power loss,temperature rise
* Comprehensive presentation of important design factorsinvolving material and lubricants.
* State-of-the-art presentation and up-to-date referencesof pertinent scientific and applied topics in tribology
* Numerous examples that reinforce the understanding ofconcepts and provide procedures for the design and performanceanalysis of components
Applied Tribology, 2nd edition provides a valuable andauthoritative resource for mechanical engineering professionalsworking in a wide range of industries with machinery includingturbines, compressors, motors, electrical appliances &electronic components. Senior and graduate students in mechanicalengineering will also find it a useful text and reference.
