What is tribology?

Explanation of Solution

Tribology is the science of surfaces which interact in relative motion. This involves the studyings well as applying the principles of lubrication friction  and wear. It draws on several academic streams, including but not limited to, engineering, mathematics, materials science, biology, physics, and chemistry. People working in tribology stream are known as Tribologists.

13.64 The shaft shown in Sketch h transfers power between the two pulleys. The tension on the slack side (right pul- ley) is 30% of that on the tight side. The shaft rotates at 900 rpm and is supported uniformly by a radial ball bearing at points 0 and B. Select a pair of radial ball bear- ings with 99% reliability and 40,000 hr of life. Assume Eq. (13.83) can be used to account for lubricant clean- liness. All length dimensions are in millimeters. Ans. Cmin = 42,400 N.
