Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid mobility solution approach to the analysis of dynamically loaded misaligned journal bearings. Mobility data obtained for misaligned bearings (calculated from a finite element representation of ...

Abstract: This paper provides the first crosscomparison of three established elastohydrodynamic computational methods to investigate the conformal longbearing pure squeeze cylindrical bearing problem with rigid journal and elastic ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new approach to the design of total hip replacements with the goal of enhancing lubrication and reducing wear. Elastic elements and ellipsoidal cup surface geometry are incorporated into the new ...

Abstract: This note provides a more extensive assessment of bearing performance for steadily loaded oscillating journal bearings using the mobility method of solution. Even with significantly large journal oscillation amplitudes, ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the wear characteristics of a novel squeeze-film hip implant design. Key features of the design are elastic elements attached to the cup which provide a mechanical means for ball separation during ...

Abstract: This note provides additional graphical representations and curvefit expressions for characteristics of the Warner–Sommerfeld approximate solution of the Reynolds equation for cavitating journal finite bearings. In ...

Abstract: An “inverse” formulation is described for general problems of unsteady elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Spatial discretization gives an explicit initial-value ordinary differential equation (ODE) problem with (interior) ...

Abstract: Jet impingement cooling has been extensively used in the leading edge region of a gas turbine blade. This study focuses on the effect of jet impinging position on leading edge heat transfer. The test model is composed of ...
