William A. Glaeser (Degree(s): MEng)
I am part time at Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus Ohio as a Senior Reseach Scientist In the field of Tribology. I have been with Battelle since 1951. Have published a text "Materials for Tribology" (ELSEVIER) And am updating my book:
" Characterization of Tribological Materials" (Butterworth-Heinemann).
My first job after studying heat power engineering at Sibley school was with an engine manufacturer who built engines run on natural gas for the gas pipelines. I joined BATTELLE in the mechanical engineering dept. My first assignment was running tests on sliding materials in liquid sodium and 6oo degree f water. Since then I have enjoyed a career involving many interesting projects including the control moment gyro bearings in the space station, bearings for several NASA space vehicles and elasto hydrodynamics theory.
