Abstract: This paper describes the apparatus and the experiments conducted with a 60 deg partial arc journal bearing in laminar and superlaminar regimes. The experiments were conducted with two clearance ...

Abstract: Calculated steady-state and dynamic characteristics are given for the four-pad, tilting-pad journal bearing with preload coefficients of 0 and 0.5 and for mean Reynolds up to 12,000. The calculated ...

Abstract: The results of a combined analytical and experimental investigation of the unbalance vibrations of a rotor are presented. The analysis applies to a general rotor-bearing system in which the ...

Abstract: Calculated data on steady-state and dynamic properties of the plain cylindrical floating-ring bearing with pressurized lubricant supply are given. The data are for a bearing with L/D of 1, and ...

Abstract: The steady-state and dynamic characteristics of a full circular bearing and a centrally loaded, 100 deg, arc bearing are calculated for a range of eccentricity ratios to 0.95 and of mean ...
