Leading developments in analysis and testing Multi-Body Dynamics:
Monitoring and Simulation Techniques II provides a comprehensive
update on the latest developments in the field. Presented at the
2nd International Symposium of Multi-Body Dynamics, this book
details the newest work surrounding monitoring and simulation from
leading researchers in industry and academia. Applicable to a wide
variety of applications, the ideas and techniques presented here
provide useful insight for anyone working in dynamics analysis and
experimentation.
Multi-Body Dynamics: Vehicles, Machines, and Mechanisms opens by
providing an understanding of engineering dynamics and then leads
on to the analysis, techniques, and problem solving approaches.
Multi-body dynamics describes the physics of motion of an assembly
of constrained or restrained bodies. As such it encompasses the
behaviour of nearly every living or inanimate object in the
universe. "Multi-body dynamics - Monitoring and Simulation
Techniques III" includes papers from leading academic researchers,
professional code developers, and practising engineers, covering
recent fundamental advances in the field, as well as applications
to a host of problems in industry. They broadly cover the areas:
multi-body methodology; structural dynamics; engine dynamics;
vehicle dynamics - ride and handling; and machines and mechanisms.
"Multi-body Dynamics" is a unique volume, describing the latest
developments in the field, supplemented by the latest enhancements
in computer simulations, and experimental measurement techniques.
Leading industrialists explain the importance attached to these
developments in industrial problem solving.
Tribology, the science of friction, wear and lubrication, is one of
the cornerstones of engineering's quest for efficiency and
conservation of resources. Tribology and dynamics of engine and
powertrain: fundamentals, applications and future trends provides
an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the disciplines of
dynamics and tribology using a multi-physics and multi-scale
approach to improve automotive engine and powertrain technology.
Part one reviews the fundamental aspects of the physics of motion,
particularly the multi-body approach to multi-physics, multi-scale
problem solving in tribology. Fundamental issues in tribology are
then described in detail,from surface phenomena in thin-film
tribology, to impact dynamics, fluid film and elastohydrodynamic
lubrication means of measurement and evaluation. These chapters
provide an understanding of the theoretical foundation for Part II
which includes many aspects of the physics of motion at a multitude
of interaction scales from large displacement dynamics to noise and
vibration tribology, all of which affect engines and powertrains.
Many chapters are contributed by well-established practitioners
disseminating their valuable knowledge and expertise on specific
engine and powertrain sub-systems. These include overviews of
engine and powertrain issues, engine bearings, piston systems,
valve trains, transmission and many aspects of drivetrain systems.
The final part of the book considers the emerging areas of
microengines and gears as well as nano-scale surface engineering.
With its distinguished editor and international team of academic
and industry contributors, Tribology and dynamics of engine and
powertrain is a standard work for automotive engineers and all
those researching NVH and tribological issues in engineering.
Fundamentals of Tribology deals with the fundamentals of
lubrication, friction and wear, as well as mechanics of contacting
surfaces and their topography. It begins by introducing the reader
to the importance of tribology in everyday life and offers a brief
history of the subject. It then describes the nature of rough
surfaces and the mechanics of contacting elastic solids and their
deformation under load and friction in their relative motion. The
book goes on to discuss the importance of lubricant rheology with
respect to viscosity and density. Then, the principles of
hydrodynamic lubrication are covered with derivations of the
governing Reynolds and energy equations. Applications of
hydrodynamic lubrication in various forms of bearings - journal
bearings, thrust bearings and externally pressurised bearings - are
outlined. The important and still evolving subject of
elastohydrodynamic lubrication is treated in some detail, both at
its fundamentals and its applications in thin shell or overlay
bearings, cam-followers and internal combustion engine pistons.The
fundamentals of biotribology are also covered, particularly its
applications to endo-articular mammalian joints such as hip and
knee joints and their arthroplasty. In addition, there is a
treatment of the rapidly emerging knowledge of tribological
phenomena in lightly loaded vanishing conjunctions (nanotribology),
in natural systems and very small devices, such as MEMS and high
density data storage media. There is also a new chapter on the
rapidly emerging subject of surface texturing to promote retention
of microreservoirs of lubricant, acting as microbearings and
improving lubrication of otherwise poorly lubricated
conjunctions.This book targets the undergraduate and postgraduate
body as well as engineering professionals in industry, where often
a quick solution or understanding of certain tribological
fundamentals is sought. The book can also form an initial basis for
those interested in research into certain aspects of tribology.
