Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication

by Bernard J. Hamrock

This book focuses specifically on fluid film lubrication rather than on the general topic of tribology. The modes of fluid film lubrication-hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic lubrication-are emphasized in this text, with boundary lubrication given cursory treatment. Additional emphasis is given to deriving formulas from basic theory and providing physical understanding of these formulas.
