Abstract: Recent studies of the cavitation zone in the journal bearing indicate that a sublayer of lubricant adheres to the journal surface. Based on this observation, it is proposed in the present ...

Abstract: A dual rotor rig is developed and is briefly discussed. The rig is capable of simulating dynamically the two spool aeroengine, though it does not physically resemble the actual aeroengine ...

Abstract: A closed-form pressure distribution, using a combination of short- and long-bearing approximations, is proposed for dynamically loaded journal bearings. The angles for start and finish of positive ...

Abstract: In the past few decades the research efforts towards efficient solutions of crankshaft bearing using both rapid (e.g., analytical, semi-analytical, curve fits) and rigorous numerical approaches ...

Abstract: The present work is on prediction of temperature distribution in noncircular journal bearings and the surrounding solids. Three forms are studied, viz. two-lobe, elliptical and orthogonally displaced ...

Abstract: The stability characteristics of a rotor-bearing system which indicate the threshold of instability are generally obtained by applying the Routh-Hurwitz criterion to the characteristic polynomial. ...
