The main aim of this book is to promote a better appreciation of the role of tribology at the design stage in engineering. It is intended as a reference for designers, researchers and postgraduate students but should also be relevant to undergraduate courses. Tribology is a neglected area on engineering courses and it is hoped that the procedures and techniques of analysis explained here will be helpful in applying the principles of tribology to the design of the machine elements found in mechanical devices and systems. It is designed to supplement the Engineering Science Data Unit series in tribology, well known to practising engineers. The material is grouped according to applications - elements of contact mechanics, tribology of lower and higher kinematic pairs, rolling contact bearings and surface damage of machine elements.

An important volume in the “Tribology in Practice Series” (TIPS). Rolling Contacts presents a general introduction to the fundamentals of rolling friction with the emphasis on important engineering applications of rolling contacts. 
Rolling Friction is an age-old engineering problem – with friction and wear related problems resulting in enormous costs to industry world-wide. Rolling Contacts presents the fundamentals of rolling contacts of all types, emphasizing important engineering applications – including rolling bearings, gears, road-tyre and rail-wheel interactions, cam-tappet systems, and roll-forming of materials. Procedures and techniques of analysis developed throughout the book enhance understanding of this complex subject and help to improve the engineer’s ability to design and select rolling contacts for mechanical devices and systems. CONTENTS INCLUDE: <ul>
<li> Elements of surface contact of solids </li> <li> Fundamentals of rolling motion </li> <li> Dynamic characteristics of rolling motion </li> <li> Rolling contact bearing </li> <li> Rolling contacts in land locomotion </li> <li> Machine elements in rolling contact </li> <li> Non-metallic rolling contacts. </li> </ul>
Rolling Contacts will be invaluable to practising designers, researchers, and postgraduate students. Engineering degree course students will also benefit from this book’s thorough introduction to rolling contacts commonly used in practice.
