Abstract: A rotating flexible disk separated from a rigid flat surface by a gas film is addressed. The gas film between the disk and the plate is represented by an incompressible Reynolds equation. ...

Abstract: A flexible disk rotating in close proximity to a flat rigid surface has been studied experimentally and theoretically. A bump is located on the surface to create a non-axisymmetric disturbance. ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented to estimate the state of stress when solidification occurs with varying liquid pressure and freezing temperature. A model assuming the state of stress in the freezing ...

Abstract: The experimental investigation discussed here gives experimental confirmation of the slip-flow theory for modeling hydrodynamic gas bearings with clearances below 0.25 microns. An interferometric ...
