Modeling and Analytical Methods in Tribology

By Ilya I. Kudish, Michael Judah Covitch Copyright 2010

    Improving our understanding of friction, lubrication, and fatigue, Modeling and Analytical Methods in Tribology 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 authors incorporate the classical

    Basics of Asymptotic Expansions and Methods. Contact Problems for Coated and Rough Surfaces. Contact Problems with Friction. Rheology of Lubricating Oils. Properties of Multi-Grade Lubricating Oils. Degradation of Linear Polymers. Degradation of Star Polymers. Review of Data on Contact Fatigue. Fracture Mechanics and Contact Fatigue. Analysis of Fluid Lubricated Contacts. Lubrication by Greases. Lubricant Degradation in EHL Contacts. Non-Steady and Mixed Friction Problems. Index.
