Heat, Bearings, and Lubrication: Engineering Analysis of Thermally Coupled Shear Flows and Elastic Solid Boundaries / Edition 1

by Ralph A. Burton

Overview

This book provides a systematic treatment of the thermal and elastic d eformation of bearings, seals, and other machine elements under a wide variety of conditions. In particular, it discusses failure mechanisms in bearings and seals when high speeds or loads cause significant fri ctional heating and methods for predicting and avoiding such failures. Intended for designers and mechanical engineers responsible for high- performance machinery, the book is unique in giving a systematic treat ment of instabilities driven by frictional heating and thermal expansi on and in developing a theoretical approach to engineering design in t hose cases in which the thermal problems are pivotal. It thus provides a guide as to what is important and what is secondary in the developm ent of high-performance engineering systems. References to recent publ ications, new material that fill gaps in the literature, a consistent nomenclature, and a large number of worked examples make this a useful text.
