Effects of Mechanical Stiffness and Vibration on Wear

Description The most current data available on the impact of vibrations and stiffness on test apparatus and machine wear. This comprehensive volume includes wide-ranging examples of machine wear, current experimental and analysis techniques to investigate these effects, as well as an extensive bibliography on the subject. Specific areas addressed: • How vibrations can reduce or increase wear and friction • Methods to study vibration effects • Self-induced vs.machine-induced vibrations • Evaluating different design parameters on bearing load dynamics • Increasing spindle life in grinding machines • Orthopedic biomaterial wear tests •The effects of ultra sonic vibration on tool life.
