Abstract: A numerical solution is developed for the equations governing the turbulent thermohydrodynamic flow in a sector shaped thrust bearing. The lubricant viscosity is taken as a function of the ...

Abstract: A dynamic engine model and measurement technique have been developed to study induction air swirl in the cylinder of a 4-stroke-cycle engine. Fabrication of the cylinder and piston crown of ...

Abstract: Finite-element techniques are applied to solve the elastohydrodynamic finite journal bearing problem. Reynolds’ equation for the fluid film and the three-dimensional elasticity equations for the ...

Abstract: The finite element method of lubrication analysis is presented for the novice from a viewpoint closely analogous to that of the familiar direct stiffness method of structural analysis. The ...
