Advances in Computational Multibody Systems (Computational Methods in Applied Sciences) Feature

Among all the fields in solid mechanics the methodologies associated to multibody dynamics are probably those that provide a better framework to aggregate different disciplines. This idea is clearly reflected in the multidisciplinary applications in biomechanics that use multibody dynamics to describe the motion of the biological entities, or in finite elements where the multibody dynamics provides powerful tools to describe large motion and kinematic restrictions between system components, or in system control for which multibody dynamics are the prime form of describing the systems under analysis, or even in applications with fluid-structures interaction or aeroelasticity. This book contains revised and enlarged versions of selected communications presented at the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference in Multibody Dynamics 2003 that took place in Lisbon, Portugal, which have been enhanced in their self-containment and tutorial aspects by the authors. The result is a comprehensive text that constitutes a valuable reference for researchers and design engineers and helps to appraise the potential of application of multibody dynamics to a wide range of scientific and engineering areas of relevance.

Applied Tribology: Bearing Design and Lubrication Feature

A balanced presentation of theory, application, classical forms, and cutting-edge technologies
Applied Tribology focuses on the design and analysis of machine elements. In particular, it covers tribology in bearings and demonstrates the application of the same principles to other machine components, including piston pins, piston rings, pumps, hydraulic lifts, wet clutches, and more.
Maintaining a balance between theoretical analysis and practical experience, this book offers numerous examples to reinforce concepts and shares procedures for the design and performance analysis of components. It provides treatment of the full Reynolds equation to support the understanding of computer solutions for evaluating load capacity, power loss, temperature rise, and material and lubrication factors in machine element behavior. Coverage also includes:
* Properties of mineral and synthetic oils and greases
* Guidelines for lubricant supply systems
* Properties of full-film bearing alloys and partially lubricated materials
* An entire chapter on gas bearing applications in high-speed machines and computer read-write devices
* Performance analyses and application limits for ball and roller bearings
* Problems and projects related to cutting-edge developments in tribology
This versatile, authoritative reference is an important resource for professionals in automotive, aerospace, turbine and compressor, appliance, electric motor, and electronic component/computer design and manufacturing. It is also an excellent text for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference book for practicing engineers and machine designers.
