Synopses & Reviews
Covering the fundamental principles of bearing selection, design, and tribology, this book discusses basic physical principles of bearing selection, lubrication, design computations, advanced bearings materials, arrangement, housing, and seals, as well as recent developments in bearings for high-speed aircraft engines. The author explores unique solutions to challenging design problems and presents rare case studies, such as hydrodynamic and rolling-element bearings in series and adjustable hydrostatic pads for large bearings. He focuses on the design considerations and calculations specific to hydrodynamic journal bearings, hydrostatic bearings, and rolling element bearings.
Book News Annotation:
This undergraduate textbook covers the fundamental principles of
bearing selection, design, and tribology. Harnoy (New Jersey
Institute of Technology) begins with general discussions of lubricant
viscosity, dynamic lubrication theory, and the friction and wear of
the materials used in bearings, then focuses on the design
considerations and calculations specific to hydrodynamic journal
bearings, hydrostatic bearings, and rolling element bearings.
