Informationen zum Autor James Denis Summers-Smith is a British ornithologist and mechanical engineer, a specialist both in sparrows and in industrial tribology. Klappentext "A Tribology Casebook" is different to other engineering books in that it describes what actually happens under real life operating conditions. By presenting a collection ofincidents drawn from practice, this book illustrates the practical issues and problem solving approaches needed to deal with real situations that engineers are likely to comeacross in their working lives.CONTENTS INCLUDE: Aeration foaming, and contamination of lubricating oils by water in serviceAnalysis techniquesBoundary lubricating properties of polyglycolsClimatic effectsCondition monitoring: temperature measurementCorrosive wearCrankcase explosionsFires and explosions in air compressors and compressed air systemsLubrication in other environments than airManufacturers are not always rightMaterials for plain bearingsMechanical sealsPlant memory and myths.This work describes what actually happens under real life operating conditions.
