Heat, Bearings, and Lubrication: Engineering Analysis of Thermally Coupled Shear Flows and Elastic S

Intended for designers and mechanical engineers responsible for high- performance machinery, this book discusses failure mechanisms in bearings and seals when high speeds or loads cause significant frictional heating and methods for predicting and avoiding such failures. References to recent publications, new material that fill gaps in the literature, a consistent nomenclature, and a large number of worked examples make this a useful text and reference for researchers and practicing engineers.
