Abstract: The semianalytic foil-bearing solution algorithm of Eshel and Elrod (1965) is extended to the solution of the linearized, free vibration problem for one-dimensional self-pressurized foil bearings. ...

Abstract: Approximate solutions are found to the one-dimensional steady-state foil bearing problem in which a longitudinally translating, flexible tensioned sheet of material rides on a thin film of entrained ...

Abstract: The natural frequencies and transverse stiffness of centrally damped, circular disks are computed taking into account the flexibility of the central clamp and the thickness of the damped part ...

Abstract: This paper uses Lyapunov’s method to determine the critical speed of a flexible spinning disk enclosed in a housing that hydrodynamically couples the transverse motion of the disk to the motion ...

Abstract: Renshaw and Mote (1996) proposed a conjecture concerning the growth of vibrating eigensolutions of gyroscopic systems in the neighborhood of a vanishing eigenvalue when the system operators depend ...

Abstract: Vanishing eigenvalues of a gyroscopic system are always repeated and, as a result of this degeneracy, their eigenfunctions represent a combination of constant displacements with zero velocity and ...

Abstract: A new solution technique is developed for solving the moving mass problem for nonconservative, linear, distributed parameter systems using complex eigenfunction expansions. Traditional Galerkin ...
