Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Non-Newtonian Fluids 1st Edition

Capture the complex behavior of real-world lubricants with Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Non-Newtonian Fluids, 1st Edition by Ping Huang and Qianqian Yang. This authoritative text presents a modern, rigorous treatment of lubrication theory where viscosity and flow behavior deviate from Newtonian assumptions—essential reading for anyone tackling advanced tribology problems.

Delve into clear explanations of rheological models, film-pressure coupling, and boundary conditions, supported by analytical derivations and practical examples. The authors bridge theory and application, covering shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids, viscoelastic effects, and their impact on bearing performance, seals, and micro-scale lubrication. Mathematically precise yet accessible, the book equips readers to model non-Newtonian lubrication in industrial, automotive, and aerospace systems.

Engineers, graduate students, and researchers will value the step-by-step problem formulations, comparative analyses of constitutive models, and guidance for numerical implementation. Whether designing high-performance bearings in Europe, optimizing lubrication systems in North America, or researching challenging rheological behaviors in Asia, this edition offers globally relevant insights and scalable methods.

Make smarter design decisions by understanding how non-Newtonian behavior alters load capacity, friction, and film thickness. With practical recommendations and contemporary examples, this volume is a definitive resource for advancing lubrication science and improving mechanical reliability.

Add Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Non-Newtonian Fluids, 1st Edition to your professional library today—the technical clarity and applied focus make it an indispensable reference for modern tribology practice worldwide.
