Description
This book summarises work done and experience gained over the past three decades in the area of tribology in electrical environments.
It takes a close look at behaviour and response characteristics of rolling-element, and hydrodynamic journal & thrust bearings working
under the influence of electrical current. Detailed analysis plugs the existing knowledge gaps in the area of tribology in electrical
environments. This is because the genesis of intermolecular forces during tribological interaction involves electrostatic attraction
or repulsion that creates electro-dynamic, magnetic and exchange forces between atoms. Therefore all tribological phenomena occurring
in any interacting system is electrical in nature.
