Abstract: A spherically crowned circular disk in contact with a mating plain cylindrical one has been used in a two disk machine to conduct elastohydrodynamic (EHD) investigations with the contact zone ...

Abstract: A two disk machine with a spherical disk mating a plain cylindrical one has been constructed to operate at different elliptical contact situations under various loads and rolling to sliding ...

Abstract: This part is a complimentary work to a previously published work on EHD lubrication behavior under pure sliding and combined rolling and sliding situations. In order to cover all aspects of ...

Abstract: The elastically deformed contact area together with the oil film thickness between lubricated plane cylinders in relative motion are experimentally measured and analyzed under various loads and ...

Abstract: The paper presents an adiabatic analysis of misaligned journal bearings. The misalignment is allowed to vary in magnitude as well as in direction with respect to the bearing boundaries. Results ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental investigations conducted on a disk machine specially designed and constructed to determine film behavior under elastohydrodynamic lubrication conditions. ...

Abstract: Performance characteristics for a complete journal bearing of finite axial length are obtained analytically using a new set of boundary conditions. The generalized Reynolds equation is transformed, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analytical study of the performance of a cylindrical journal bearing of finite length as influenced by undulations intentionally produced on the surface. ...

Abstract: A novel approach is presented to optimize the finite journal bearing performance under steady loading conditions. Closed form expressions representing the behavior of the bearing as explicit ...
