Abstract: A theoretical analysis is made of the normal approach of flat and curved rectangular plates which are separated by a thin film of lubricant. Load capacity curves are presented and some typical ...

Abstract: An analysis was made of the oil flows occurring in a full journal bearing with a continuous oil film. The flow rate into the bearing was determined at the section of greatest clearance and ...

Abstract: A general method is derived for the solution of the Reynolds equation including the effects of tangential and normal velocities. It is applied to the solution of a full journal bearing under ...

Abstract: A simple yet effective approach is developed on the basis of dynamic programming (DP) as a means of objectively selecting and prioritizing sewerage projects within available funds and system capacity. The methodology ...

Abstract: A model based on the analytical solution of an advective‐diffusion equation is developed to describe the turbidity plume induced by the operation of a bucket dredge. The model applies to the portion of the plume beyond the ...
