Abstract: A hydrodynamic theory, with consideration of the effects of compressibility and inertia of the lubricant, is applied to externally pressurized gas bearings which consist of circular and parallel ...

Abstract: A theoretical explanation of the experimentally observed depression of the pressure profile in externally pressurized gas-lubricated circular thrust bearings is presented, based on a concept new ...

Abstract: Two kinds of stabilizing methods for externally pressurized thrust gas bearings are presented and analyzed. Both stabilizers of them are composed of fluid restriction and capacitance. The first ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic wedge of a plane inclined sector pad is analyzed in relation to the lubricant inertia forces under incompressible laminar conditions. Based on the usual assumptions of thin ...

Abstract: This paper which consists of Parts I and II presents a general and practical fluid lubrication theory of roller bearings lubricated by Newtonian and non-Newtonian lubricants with considerations ...

Abstract: Using the theory for two rotating cylinders in contact obtained in Part I, the fluid lubrication theory of roller bearings for Newtonian and non-Newtonian lubricants was developed in Part II ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented to obtain the film thickness profile of an externally pressurized gas lubricated piston ring which is applied to an air compressor. In order to examine the ...
