Hydrodynamic Lubrication - Bearings and Thrust Bearings

Discusses the practical use of formalization of low pressure lubrication. This work concentrates on the developments to journal and thrust bearings and includes subjects such as: the dynamic behavior of plain and tilting-pads; and, the positive and negative effects of non-cyclindricity and shape defects resulting from manufacturing or operation.
