This course provides a practical guide to the principles of industrial lubrication. The course publication defines and illustrates friction, wear, and corrosion and how they damage contact surfaces to cause premature equipment failure. It examines the mechanics of hydrodynamic, boundary, extreme pressure, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication to protect against surface deterioration. Topics: the physics and principles of friction the physics and principles of wear the physics and principles of corrosion mechanics of hydrodynamic lubrication mechanics of boundary lubrication mechanics of extreme pressure lubrication mechanics of elastohydrodynamic lubrication Intended Audience: This is intended as a general course for all engineers whose job description requires a general knowledge of lubrication physics, principles, and applications.
