Abstract: A theoretical model to predict the vibration response of rolling element bearing in a rotor bearing system to distributed defects under radial load has been developed. The rotor bearing system ...

Abstract: The control logic of the modern full authority digital engine control is comprised of many control loops, each of which has a specific purpose. Typical control loops include (but are not ...

Abstract: Experimentally derived damping and inertia force coefficients from a test squeeze film damper for various dynamic load conditions are reported. Shakers exert single frequency loads and induce ...

Abstract: The problem of robust design is treated as a bi-objective optimization problem in which the performance mean and variation are optimized and minimized, respectively. A method for deriving a ...

Abstract: In this paper, a framework for the concept of flexibility in complex system design is presented. This is one of the first of many steps toward developing new design methods for designers ...

Abstract: This paper presents the methods for estimating automotive alternator’s back electromotive forces without a direct mechanical sensor of the rotor position. The design approach combines the merits ...
