Abstract: This technical note presents an approximate solution for the fluid film forces and design coefficents for statically loaded cylindrical journal bearings. The solution is an improved correction ...

Abstract: A novel analysis for the dynamic force response of a squeeze film damper with a central feeding groove considers the dynamic flow interaction between the squeeze film lands and the feeding ...

Abstract: Hydrostatic journal bearings handling low viscosity cryogenic liquids operate under extreme conditions of external pressurization. The regime of operation of these bearings is fully turbulent with ...

Abstract: his paper looks at the analysis of U.K. monthly rainfall data from a long-term persistence viewpoint. Different modeling approaches are considered, taking into account the strong dependence and the seasonality in the data. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a qualitative description of structural damage in aboveground steel tanks in oil refineries and facilities, which were observed during reconnaissance missions to the states of Texas and Louisiana following ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a controlled experiment carried out to investigate the differences between novices and experts during the review of papers for engineering journals. A total of 17 young faculty members with PhD degrees ...

Abstract: A computational analysis for calculation of the dynamic force response in turbulent flow annular pressure seals of arbitrary nonuniform clearance is presented. Cryogenic liquids are considered as ...

Abstract: The underlying premise of the research is that a contribution can be made to understanding the interrelation between mesoscale cumulonimbus systems and synoptic disturbances as well as the general circulation by following ...
