Bearing Design in Machinery

by Avraham Harnoy

Encourages engineering innovation by presenting rare case studies, such as hydrodynamic and rolling-element bearings in series and adjustable hydrostatic pads for large bearings.Bearing Design in Machinery considersthe applications of mineral and synthetic oils, greases, solid lubricants, and oil additivesfundamentals of fluid-film lubrication, including simplified computations for hydrodynamic bearing designchart usage in practical bearing design procedures and estimation of the operating temperature of oilconcepts, calculations, and design of hydrostatic bearings with an external pumpfriction and wear characteristics of metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites, and other bearing materialsfatigue life and advanced materials and processescalculations of contact stresses in rolling bearings and elastohydrodynamic lubricationbearings testing under static and dynamic conditionsthe advantages of VI improved viscoelastic lubricantschallenges in the development and design of artificial joint implantsBearing Design in Machinery will benefit mechanical, industrial, aeronautical, and design engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
