Abstract: Vibration damping of a plate by means of a fluid layer is investigated. First, the frequency-dependent flow resistance of a fluid layer is explained with a simple illustration of the damping ...

Abstract: Topographies of engineering surfaces normally have both random and periodic components, designated as surface roughness and waviness. True contacts between two such surfaces develop between the ...

Abstract: In this paper, the combined effects of compressibility and fluid inertia in a squeeze film are considered. The governing equations are derived using an integral method for a one-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper describes a measurement system designed to determine the hysteresis that develops between two surfaces as a result of small-amplitude tangential relative motion. Hysteresis is determined ...
