Abstract: Surface texturing is a technique for improving frictional and hydrodynamic performances of journal bearings because microtextures can serve as reservoirs for oil or traps for debris and may also generate hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Numerous previous numerical studies have investigated the effect of surface texturing upon the static characteristics of journal bearings, including their load-carrying capacity and friction torque. In general, the dynamic ...

Abstract: Electric sliding contacts are widely used in various electrical components such as for home appliances and automobiles. The purpose of the present study is to improve the performance characteristics of the electric sliding ...

Abstract: Numerical and experimental analyses of the static and dynamic characteristics of the liquid annular seals with axially partial helical grooves were conducted to investigate the effects of the axial length gal of a helically ...
