Abstract: The optimization of the surface shape for a slider to meet the specified load demands under an ultra-thin film lubrication condition has been performed in this study. The optimization process ...

Abstract: This study is to design the surfaces of sliders to meet the pressure distribution specified by the designers. The slider surfaces, in general, characterize an irregular profile. A direct problem ...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to design the shapes of the surfaces of sliders to meet the load demands specified by the designers. A direct problem solver is built to provide solutions for ...

Abstract: The present study is concerned with the flow behavior of the rarefied gas over a rectangular square cylinder. Attention has been focused on the transition regime between the continuous flow ...
