Book ·
OSTI ID:7074042
This book covers the following topics: simple hydrodynamic theory: the Reynolds equation in two dimensions; the nature and properties of liquids; friction: mechanisms and analysis; lubricated friction; contact of solid bodies; temperature effects in friction, wear and lubrication; petroleum lubricating oils; and lubrication by solids. The relationships among friction, wear, and lubrication are examined. The mechanical properties and the factors that govern the properties and behavior of the lubricant and the surface being lubricated are emphasized.
