Abstract: In order to explore the influence of different acceleration and deceleration forms on the bearing performance during acceleration and deceleration, an isothermal and mixed lubrication model for journal bearings was ...

Abstract: Misalignment results in uneven force on the contact surface, which not only increases friction loss but also shortens the bearing's service life, especially for water-lubricated bearings. In this study, an advanced approach ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mixed lubrication model is presented to analyze the tribological behavior of the textured journal bearings operating from mixed to hydrodynamic lubrication regimes. In particular, the effects of fluid ...

Abstract: Surface texturing is one effective means to improve bearing performance. Available studies are mainly focused on the perfectly aligned journal bearing with textures. The studies involving the effect of surface texturing ...

Abstract: Laser indirect shock forming is a novel microfabrication technique to introduce 3D profiles in metallic thin films. Experiments were performed by allowing the laserdriven flyer to impact the thin film, which is placed above ...
