Seireg A.A. Friction and Lubrication in Mechanical Design

Marcel Dekker, 1998. 548 p.— ISBN: 0824799747Shows how to control mechanisms of contact mechanics, heat generation and transfer, friction, noise generation, lubrication, and surface damage due to mechanical and thermal variables. Simplifies access to information for predicting and preventing friction and wear.This book treats friction, lubrication, and wear as empirical phenomena and relies heavily on the experimental studies by the author and his coworkers to develop practical tools for design. Empirical dimensionless relationships are presented, whenever possible, that can be readily applied to a variety of situations confronting the design engineer without the need for extensive theoretical analysis or computation.The material in the book has been used for many years in an interdisciplinary course on this subject taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and can be used as a text for senior, graduate, or professional development courses. It can also be used as a reference book for practical design engineers because the many empirical equations and design graphs can provide a fundamental parametric understanding to guide their design decisions.The Contact Between Smooth Surfaces
