Back in the 1980s, Pacific Bearing Co. (PBC) invented and commercialized plain bearings, which were sized to be interchangeable with linear ball bearings. Plain bearings worked very well in certain ...

This is a subject I struggled with the first time I took it. Ironically, this was the engineering version of it. It wasn't until I took the rigorous, axiomatic version that everything clicked.

Ever observed cranes lifting heavy loads, excavators digging and scooping earth or the extension and retraction of landing gears in an aircraft? They all have one thing in common: they are driven by ...
