Abstract: Powder-lubricated, quasi-hydrodynamic journal bearings assist in controlling wear and hold promise for integration in outer space systems/mechanisms and in other hostile-environment applications where ...

Abstract: A shortcut to the classical Hertzian solution for local stress and deformation of two elastic bodies in contact is presented. The shortcut is accomplished by using simplified forms for the ...

Abstract: A numerical solution to the problem of hydrodynamic lubrication of rigid point contacts with an isoviscous, incompressible lubricant has been obtained. The hydrodynamic load-carrying capacity under ...
