Abstract: An analytical solution for the performance characteristics of finite porous journal bearings is obtained. Results are presented which relate the eccentricity ratio and coefficient of friction as ...

Abstract: An analytical solution for the performance characteristics of starved porous bearings is obtained. The solution is based on a finite bearing with an arbitrary wall thickness. The Reynolds equation ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of externally pressurized, double-pad, circular thrust bearings with membrane variable flow compensation are analytically studied. Under static loads or load composed of ...

Abstract: The effects of artificially-produced dents and grooves on the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film thickness profile in a sliding point contact are investigated by means of optical interferometry. The ...

Abstract: An experimental study was made of the performance of porous bronze bearings under different operating conditions. A PV value of 50,000 psi ft/min was found to be too high for the assembly ...

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation is to study the transmissibility characteristics of a centrally preloaded porous bearing squeeze-film damper supporting a rolling element bearing. Using the ...

Abstract: The transmissibility characteristics of oil-lubricated porous journal bearings are analytically determined for a rigid rotor mounted in both the horizontal and the vertical positions. The bearing ...

Abstract: The load capacity and stiffness of double-pad circular and rectangular porous gas bearings are analytically studied. Design curves for load capacity and stiffness versus static bearing numbers, ...
