Opis

Unlocking the secrets that govern the physics of lubricated and dry contacts, this book helps tribologists on their quest to reduce friction, minimize wear, and extend the operating life of mechanical equipment. It presents a fresh approach to tribology that links advances in applied mathematics with fundamental problems in tribology related to contact elasticity, fracture mechanics, and fluid film lubrication. The book also provides a real-world industrial perspective so that readers can attain a practical understanding of the material. The authors incorporate the classical tenets of tribology while providing new mathematical solutions that address various shortcomings in existing theories.
