Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication (McGraw-Hill Mechanical Engineering)

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.
