Overview

This book demonstrates how to control mechanisms of contact mechanics, heat generation and transfer, friction, noise generation, lubrication, and surface damage due to mechanical and thermal variables. Friction and Lubrication in Mechanical Design reviews various classical and new tribology problems beginning with history and ending with numerical optimization and examples, simplifies access to information for predicting and preventing friction and wear, and provides a useful tool for everyone involved in mechanical design, or in machinery monitoring.

Developed from and suitable for a senior, graduate, or professional development course. Treats friction, lubrication, and wear as empirical phenomena relying heavily on Seirig's (U of Wisconsin- Madison and U. of Florida-Gainesville) experimental studies to develop practical tools for design. Whenever possible, presents empirical dimensionless relationships that can be applied to a variety of situations confronting design engineers without extensive theoretical analysis or computation. Begins by reviewing the history of the subject and summarizing the relevant relationships necessary to analyze contact mechanics in smooth and rough surfaces, and concludes by detailing some of the experimental techniques Seireg and his colleagues have developed.
