Fluid film lubrication

by A. Z. Szeri

"Fluid film bearings are among the best devices for overcoming friction and eliminating wear. They are machine elements and, together with shafts, gears, and cams, constitute the building blocks engineers use in the design and construction of mechanical devices." "This book offers a systematic treatment of the fundamentals of fluid film lubrication and fluid film bearings." "Graduate and senior undergraduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers will appreciate this clear, thorough discussion of fluid film lubrication and fluid film bearings."--BOOK JACKET.
