Abstract: This paper describes the static characteristics of water-lubricated hydrostatic conical bearings with spiral grooves. Hydrostatic conical bearings treated here have been designed for high speed ...

Abstract: In the case of a circular tower, end-cell-induced vibration (ECIV) occurs at a wind speed a few times higher than the wind speed that induces the vortex-induced vibration. To elucidate the characteristics of the aerodynamic ...

Abstract: Fatigue and creep-fatigue tests at elevated temperature were conducted on two different-sized bellows, φ 1100 mm and φ 300 mm in nominal inner diameter, to investigate the fatigue life and the ...
