Introduction to Engineering Lubrication

Catalog description

Define various lubrication regimes where mechanical elements in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, wind turbine applications operate; introduce surface topography metrics & parameters; describe lubricant properties including viscosity & density dependences on pressure as well as temperature, non- & Newtonian behavior; derive Reynolds equation; solve governing equations for elasto- & hydrodynamic lubrication; introduce egr approaches for lubrication performance assessment in machine elements.
