Abstract: A large number of cylindrical bearings are manufactured in two halves and assembled in such a way that there exists a possibility that the center may get displaced along the parting line. ...

Abstract: Facing and taper turning tests (also known as accelerated cutting tests) are commonly used for the evaluation of machinability of materials. Of late, it has been reported that instantaneous ...

Abstract: The development of the Reynolds equation for the general case of dynamically loaded journal bearings is extended to include the concept of an effective speed that combines in one term the ...

Abstract: Entrance region solutions of the two-dimensional boundary layer equations are presented in terms of a convergent power series for steady, laminar, incompressible channel flow with uniform mass ...

Abstract: Silicon is used in the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The friction and wear characteristics are of major design concern for any mechanical device requiring relative motion. ...

Abstract: The role of surface roughness on the coefficient of friction and wear of polished CVD diamond films has been investigated. Diamond films grown on single crystal silicon (001) substrates by Hot ...

Abstract: The magnetic/mechanical spacing between the transducer and the disk significantly decreases due to thermal expansion of pole tips at stressed high temperature and high humidity tests. The protruded ...
