Engineering Tribology by Ja Williams

Engineering Tribology by Ja Williams

Tribology is an interdisciplinary subject, and successful tribological solutions to real design problems in areas as diverse as plain journal bearings, rolling-element bearings, heavily loaded gear teeth, or cams and followers, are likely to draw on the skills of mechanical engineers, surface and lubricant chemists, material scientists, and physicists. The aim of this new book is to provide engineers with a thorough understanding of the principles underlying the engineering aspects of the subject while also indicating the important material constraints within which they must work. The text includes chapters dealing with the qualitative and quantitative description of engineering surfaces; the development of both elastic and plastic stresses when such surfaces are brought into contact; the underlying mechanisms of friction, surface distress, and wear; the generation of thick pressurized fluid films in both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings; and the principles underpinning the design and operation of rolling contacts and bearings. Written at the level of a senior undergraduate or graduate level student in engineering or the physical sciences the book will also be of value to more senior designers and research workers moving into the area. Problems with answers are provided and a number of data sheets summarizing some essential tribology design guidelines are included. This book is intended for final year undergraduate mechanical engineering and materials science.
