Improving our understanding of friction, lubrication, and fatigue,
Modeling and Analytical Methods in Tribology presents a fresh
approach to tribology that links advances in applied mathematics
with fundamental problems in tribology related to contact
elasticity, fracture mechanics, and fluid film lubrication. The
authors incorporate the classical tenets of tribology while
providing new mathematical solutions that address various
shortcomings in existing theories. From contact interactions to
contact fatigue life, the book connects traditionally separate
areas of tribology research to create a coherent modeling
methodology that encompasses asymptotic and numerical techniques.
The authors often demonstrate the efficacy of the models by
comparing predictions to experimental data. In most cases, they
derive equations from first principles. They also rigorously prove
problem formulations and derive certain solution properties.
Solutions to problems are presented using simple analytical
formulas, graphs, and tables. In addition, the end-of-chapter
exercises highlight points important for comprehending the material
and mastering the appropriate skills. Unlocking the secrets that
govern the physics of lubricated and dry contacts, this book helps
tribologists on their quest to reduce friction, minimize wear, and
extend the operating life of mechanical equipment. It provides a
real-world industrial perspective so that readers can attain a
practical understanding of the material.
