Engine Oils and Automotive Lubrication


Book Description

Discusses all the major aspects of automotive and engine lubrication - presenting state-of-the-art advances in the field from both research and industrial perspectives. This book should be of interest to mechanical, lubrication and automotive engineers, automotive and machinery designers as well as undergraduate and graduate students in these fields.




Wörterbuch der Schmierungstechnik / Dictionary of Lubrication Engineering


Book Description

It was often felt as a shortcoming that there was no dictionary of lubrication engineering English-German and German-English on the market, since many terms of tribology are not contained in standard or technical dictionaries. The field of lubrication engineering is multidisciplinary, it overlaps with many sciences such as chemistry, physics and mechanical engineering. Therefore, relevant terms from these sciences have been included as well as terms from the field of applied economics. This publication fills the gap and is inevitable for everyday's work!




Theory and Practice of Lubrication for Engineers


Book Description

Comprehensively presents the fundamental concepts of lubrication theory needed to properly cope with friction and wear problems. Demonstrates, through multiple numerical examples, how solutions are achieved, and discusses further applications using these concepts. Includes new material on non-rigid surfaces, simplified methods of analysis of complex and involved techniques, and concepts on fluid-film bearings simultaneously serving as a pump.




Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication


Book Description

Specifically focusing on fluid film, hydrodynamic, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication, this edition studies the most important principles of fluid film lubrication for the correct design of bearings, gears, and rolling operations, and for the prevention of friction and wear in engineering designs. It explains various theories, procedures, and equations for improved solutions to machining challenges. Providing more than 1120 display equations and an introductory section in each chapter, Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication, Second Edition facilitates the analysis of any machine element that uses fluid film lubrication and strengthens understanding of critical design concepts.
