Abstract: A method is developed which allows the digital simulation of the unsteady motion of a single ball constrained only by two moving bearing races. Any desired motion of the races can be simulated. ...

Abstract: An analytical method has been developed for the simulation of the transient and steady-state response of flexible rotors supported by realistic incompressible-film hydrodynamic journal bearings. ...

Abstract: This study of cavitation inception from a solid surface includes the presentation of an empirical model for the nuclei, a completely new design for experimental test equipment, a rigorous ...

Abstract: This investigation of compliant journal bearings is directed toward the fundamental behavior characteristics which are necessary when compliance is factored into the final design. Analytical ...

Abstract: Geometric stress concentration factors were determined experimentally for shouldered aluminum shafts subjected to combinations of flexural and torsional loads. Diameter ratios were varied from 0.42 ...
