Abstract: A simple mathematical analog for determination of the squeeze film behavior between two parallel annular disks, one having a porous facing, from the already available solutions of comparable ...

Abstract: A single cylinder engine equipped with a transparent cylinder sleeve has been used to develop a technique to make visual investigations of piston ring lubrication behavior and engine oil loss ...

Abstract: The effects of the lubricant rotational inertia and the temperature on the performance of parallel stepped hydrostatic thrust bearings have been investigated. Expressions for pressure and temperature ...

Abstract: An analytical method developed for determining the bore wear pattern for a reciprocating piston engine over a complete running cycle is presented. The method includes the considerations of the ...

Abstract: Based on the analytical method presented in the previous paper (Part I), comparisons of predicted wear curves along the major and minor side-thrust sides of the cylinder bore are made with ...
