Abstract: The presented analytical consideration of tilting-pad bearings incorporates simultaneously the changes in viscosity (due to viscous dissipation) and in the nonambient inlet pressure (due to momentum ...

Abstract: Current distress analysis practices and material specifications associated with low temperatures, including recent developments by the Strategic Highway Research Program, do not address the potential for localized damage ...

Abstract: An operating tilting-pad thrust bearing generates a fore-region which is responsible for maintaining, at the bearing entrance, a pressure which is higher than the ambient pressure. This entrance ...
