Abstract: This work provides an analytical technique for computing the seal face misalignment which results from synchronous whirl of the shaft. The eccentric dynamic response is obtained for seals in ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a mechanical face seal with two flexibly mounted rotors is investigated. The equations of motion are derived using linearized rotor dynamic coefficients to model the ...

Abstract: The Reynolds equation is derived for a mechanical seal in which both elements are flexibly mounted to rotating shafts. Stiffness and damping coefficients for the fluid film are calculated for ...

Abstract: The Reynolds equation is extended to include the effects of radial deflection in a seal with two flexibly mounted rotors. The resulting pressures are used to obtain the forces and moments ...

Abstract: A parametric analysis is performed to investigate the steady-state dynamic response of a mechanical seal with two flexibly mounted rotors. The effect of changing various inertia, support, and ...

Abstract: Dynamic stability is investigated for a mechanical seal configuration in which both seal elements are flexibly mounted to independently rotating shafts. The analysis is applicable to systems with ...

Abstract: The member stiffness in a bolted connection has a direct influence upon safe design with regard to both static and fatigue loading, as well as in the prevention of separation in the connection. ...
