Opis

The science and technology of lubrication are among the pillars of performance, reliability, and sustainability of modern mechanical advancements. Lubrication Science – Challenges and Emerging Technologies offers a comprehensive perspective on this dynamic science by integrating theory, experiment, and innovation to foster greater understanding and applicability.This book covers lubrication from both theoretical and practical perspectives, with a scope that includes hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearings, rolling bearings, and emerging lubricants. Recent developments, including nanotechnology-based lubricants, the integration of smart sensors for real-time sensing, and new surface engineering, are discussed, alongside eco-friendly methods employing bio-lubricants and biodegradable materials that support green engineering principles.The book chapters cover a broad but connected research area scope: computational modeling of journal bearings (Chapter 1), friction CVT developments (Chapter 2), superlubricity mechanisms (Chapter 3), modeling of rotary dryer degradation (Chapter 4), nonlinear lubrication of greases (Chapter 5), brake friction materials' variants of resins (Chapter 6), rheological and thermophysical properties of lubricants (Chapter 7), and the impact of humidity for sliding-contact materials (Chapter 8).In addition, the contributions offer a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in lubrication and tribology. By integrating computational models, experimental studies, and new materials, the book shows how multidisciplinary methodologies are recomposing lubrication science to address future engineering challenges.For scientists, practitioners, and engineers, Lubrication Science – Challenges and Emerging Technologies serves as both a reference work and a source of inspiration, pointing the way to efficient, sustainable, and innovative solutions for lubrication and tribology.
