Abstract: This paper re-examines the problem of thermal cracking of carbide tools during intermittent cutting. In the paper a two-dimensional tool model is presented. A square-wave type of heat flux is ...

Abstract: An externally pressurized bearing having variable external flow restrictors has been investigated and compared to a conventional externally pressurized journal bearing having fixed external restrictors. ...

Abstract: The effects of the lubricant rotational inertia and the temperature on the performance of parallel stepped hydrostatic thrust bearings have been investigated. Expressions for pressure and temperature ...

Abstract: An analytical method developed for determining the bore wear pattern for a reciprocating piston engine over a complete running cycle is presented. The method includes the considerations of the ...

Abstract: Based on the analytical method presented in the previous paper (Part I), comparisons of predicted wear curves along the major and minor side-thrust sides of the cylinder bore are made with ...
