First sentence: This chapter describes journal bearings and face seals, and introduces terminology that is used throughout this book.
Description: "This book provides a systematic treatment of thermal and elastic deformations in bearings, seals, and other machine elements. In particular, it discusses mechanisms of failure when high speeds or loads cause significant frictional heating and offers methods for predicting and avoiding such failures.".

"Intended for designers and engineers responsible for high-performance machinery, the book is unique in giving a systematic treatment of instabilities driven by frictional heating and thermal expansion, and in developing a theoretical approach to engineering design in those cases where the thermal problems are pivotal. It thus provides a guide as to what is important and what is secondary in the development of critical machine systems."--BOOK JACKET.
