Abstract: The measurement results of various nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) O-Ring sizes are presented, and reduced-order models are developed in order to predict the stiffness and damping coefficient as a function of O-Ring geometry, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the potential of enhanced groove geometries to increase the bearing clearance of a Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing (HGJB) supported ...
