Description
Summary:This licentiate thesis summarises the work which I have carried out over the last three and a half years at the Division of Machine Elements at Luleå University of Technology investigating the lubrication of sliding bearings in hydro-electric power generation applications. It also represents my contribution to the advancement of technology in this vital industry. Funding for the various activities undertaken for this project work has come from several sources: The work on thrust bearings (hydrodynamic lubrication) was funded by
