Abstract: Hybrid bearings are mostly used in high-speed and load situations due to their better stability and loading capacity. They are typically designed with recess grooves to enhance both static and dynamic performance of the ...

Abstract: Hybrid bearings are getting more and more attention because of their ability to provide both hydrodynamic support for high-speed rotors and hydrostatic lift in low-speed conditions such as during startup. Hybrid bearings ...

Abstract: Textured thrust bearings are capable of providing higher load capacity and lower friction torque compared to nontextured bearings. However, most previous optimization efforts for texturing geometry were focused on rectangular ...

Abstract: Contact performance can be enhanced by using textured surfaces. These are also found to have influences on lubricated contacts. A procedure to find the optimal partially textured thrust bearing configuration is presented ...

Abstract: Fuel efficiency becomes very important for new vehicles. Therefore, improving the aerodynamics of tires has started to receive increasing interest. While the experimental approaches are time-consuming and costly, numerical ...

Abstract: Gas foil bearings can operate in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high rotating speed, compared to traditional bearings. They also provide better damping and stability characteristics and have larger tolerance ...

Abstract: Adaptive lubricants involve binary mixture of synthetic oil and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). Unlike conventional lubricant oils, the lubricant viscosity not only varies with the temperature within the bearing but also ...
