Abstract: Mobility and impedance methods provide extremely efficient and robust journal orbit/trajectory calculation through use of bearing characteristics stored (at least conceptually) in the form of widelyavailable “maps.â€‌ ...

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 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 ...
