Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication for Line and Point Contacts: Asymptotic and Numerical Approaches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138073968)

Ilya I. Kudish is a professor of mathematics at Kettering University in Flint, Michigan. He is a recipient of all Kettering University research awards--Outstanding New Researcher, Outstanding Applied Researcher, Outstanding Researcher, and Distinguished Researcher Awards--as well as of Rodes and Oswald Professorships. Dr. Kudish is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He has served as a consultant to Caterpillar, Inc. and as a visiting professor at Purdue University (USA), Cardiff University (UK), and INSA (France). Dr. Kudish's main interests are in the sphere of application mathematical methods to various problems of tribology. Over the years he has made theoretical contributions to the fields of elastohydrodynamic lubrication, stress-induced lubricant degradation, contact problems for coated/rough elastic solids, fracture mechanics, and fracture mechanics-based contact and structural fatigue modeling.
