Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication
by: Mihir K. Ghosh, Ph.D., Bankim C. Majumdar, Ph.D., Mihir Sarangi, B.E., M.Tech., Ph.D.
Abstract: Written by global experts in the field, this in-depth engineering resource discusses the theory, design, analysis, and application of fluid film lubrication, providing proven methods for reducing friction in rotating machinery components. The book thoroughly addresses all aspects of the topic, from viscosity and rotor-bearing dynamics to elastohydrodynamic lubrication and fluid inertia effects. Fully worked examples, analytical and numerical methods of solutions, practice problems, and detailed illustrations are included in this authoritative reference.
