Abstract: The purpose of this study on the turbulent lubricant film is: 1 To give a brief outline of a new theory called bulk-flow theory; 2 To investigate to what extent results of theories based ...

Abstract: Turbulent film flow theories can only be verified on the basis of a large number of experimental results. Since it will be useful to handle these experimental results more or less systematically ...

Abstract: The equation for the pressure buildup in these bearings is subjected to a first-order perturbation with respect to parallel as well as skewed displacements of the center lines of journal and ...

Abstract: Inherent friction compensation can be obtained by grooving one of the bearing surfaces in such a way that the through-flow of lubricant (oil or gas) exerts viscous forces in the direction of ...

Abstract: The method relates to the production of shallow recesses in surfaces by etching. Recesses in metal surfaces are particularly suitable for use in sliding bearings for rotating components and in ...
