Rolling Bearings: Tribology Damage Modes and Life Modelling
暫譯: 滾動軸承：摩擦學損傷模式與壽命模型

本書介紹了滾動軸承中最相關的損壞模式，描述了它們的基本機制、競爭特性以及建模這些損壞機制的方法。內容包括傳統的軸承壽命計算，以及一種新的公式，將表面與次表面的存活情況分開。

Professor Morales-Espejel is the Principal Scientist at SKF Research and Technology Development, the Netherlands. He is also Chair Professor at LaMCoS, INSA de Lyon, France. As well as Visiting Professor at Imperial College London, UK. He received a PhD in Tribology from the University of Cambridge, UK, supervised by Dr. J.A. Greenwood, within Professor K.L. Johnson's research group. He holds a "Habilitation `a Diriger des Recherches (INSA-Lyon)". Professor Morales-Espejel has 10 years of experience as a university lecturer and more than 25 years of experience in studying the tribology of rolling bearings. He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers and several book chapters. In addition, he is the Associated Editor of Tribology Transactions and IMechE Part J. The research interests of Professor Morales-Espejel include modelling of bearing life, friction, lubrication, and surface life. He holds many patents in rolling bearing technology. He has received several research achievement awards and best paper awards.

Professor Morales-Espejel started his career as a mechanical designer in the truck gearbox industry. Before becoming interested in rolling bearings, Professor Morales-Espejel was an associate professor at ITESM, Campus Monterrey, Mexico, where he lectured finite elements, numerical methods, tribology, heat transfer, lubrication and advanced mechanical vibrations. He also worked for the glass-forming industry for about 5 years as a modelling advisor. He developed finite element and boundary element code for the glass-forming and railways industries among other applications.
