"Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is a difficult topic, embracing several disciplines, which can cause many problems for engineers and scientists. This up-to-date volume explains the subject both theoretically and experimentally. Moreover, with a refreshing approach and using several novel techniques of application, it provides lucid coverage of new and important findings."--Publisher's website.
