Abstract: A technique for observing two-dimensional variations of pressures using a Manganin pressure transducer is presented. Comparisons are made between pressure predictions using a straightforward analytical ...

Abstract: Although most analyses in tribology deal with the behavior of fluids in shear, many fluids, such as greases or printing inks, can develop significant forces when subjected to pure extension. ...

Abstract: The paper presents a simple theory for predicting seizure times for journal bearings. Under conditions of insufficient lubrication when bearing friction is high, seizure is predicted to occur ...

Abstract: The purpose of the paper has been to present a comparison of theoretical predictions and experimental data for contact stresses between two bodies lubricated in contact. The theoretical analysis ...

Abstract: A method of measuring the forces between a roller and the guide flange in a turbine main shaft bearing has been developed. Experimental measurements of these forces were made for a nonpreloaded ...
