Abstract: A knowledge of the dynamic characteristics of nozzles and orifices is important in many control and stability analyses of engineering devices. It is usual to assume that the instantaneous ...

Abstract: Earlier work by others concerning the effects of striated roughness and grooving upon the load-carrying capacity of lubricating films is summarized, substantiated, and generalized. A multiple-scale ...

Abstract: Recently performed analysis for herringbone thrust bearings has been incorporated into the theory of the viscous screw pump for Newtonian fluids. In addition, certain earlier corrections for ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experiment performed to verify the theory for the response of an infinitely wide, perfectly flexible foil to small sinusoidal variations in its tension, as developed in ...

Abstract: This is an investigation of the stability of self-acting, gas-lubricating bearings. Two approaches to the solution are presented and their results are compared. Also, the relation is discussed ...
