Abstract: Full Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically for a cavity region between two consecutive pads and a parallel lubricating film. Numerical solutions are obtained for a wide range of Reynolds ...

Abstract: An active control of bearing is proposed as a new method to improve the stability characteristics of the externally pressurized air journal bearing and the results of numerical investigations ...

Abstract: A comprehensive method of thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis for connecting rod bearings is proposed, which includes thermal distortion as well as elastic deformation of the bearing ...

Abstract: The thermohydrodynamic performance of the bearing is analyzed, taking into account the three-dimensional variation of lubricant viscosity and density. The effect of pivot position and operating ...

Abstract: To obtain the foil bearing characteristics, the fluid film pressure must be coupled with the elastic deformation of the foil structure. However, all of the structural models thus far have ...

Abstract: Inlet pressure effects on the thermohydrodynamic performance of a 4-pad large tilting pad journal bearing are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theory takes into account the ...
