About this book
Hydrodynamic lubrication plays an important role in mechanical engineering, although not very many books have been published on the subject. This book was written with graduate students, researchers and designers in view.
The first four chapters are preparations for the following five chapters, where several most important subjects in hydrodynamic lubrication are discussed in detail, based on the author’s own researches. Examples are oil whip (stability of rotating shafts), foil bearings in connection with magnetic tape storages, squeeze film between rigid surfaces and visco-elastic surfaces, theoretical and experimental analyses of temperature rise in bearings, those of turbulent lubricating film using the k-epsilon model.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Hydrodynamic lubrication, or the science of fluid film lubrication, is essential in large bearings for stream turbines, in small air-film-lifted magnetic heads for computer storage devices as well, and plays an important role in mechanical engineering. The present book originally published in Japanese details primarily the research work of the author and his coworkers. … the book will prove to be an important reference work for researchers working in this area." (Jagdish Prakash, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1109 (11), 2007)
