Summary

Covering the fundamental principles of bearing selection, design, and tribology, Bearing Design in Machinery: Engineering Tribology and Lubrication discusses basic physical principles of bearing selection, lubrication, advanced bearing materials, arrangement, housing, and seals. It focuses on the design considerations and calculations specific to hydrodynamic journal bearings, hydrostatic bearings, rolling element bearings, and bearings for high-speed aircraft engines. It also 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.
