Abstract: An existing bond graph of a squirrel cage induction motor was modified to make the bond graph physically more representative. The intent was to form a one-to-one correspondence between motor ...

Abstract: Multibody dynamics of healthy and faulty rolling element bearings were modeled using vector bond graphs. A 33 degree of freedom (DOF) model was constructed for a bearing with nine balls and ...

Abstract: Introduced is a model-based diagnostic system for motors, that also employs concepts of information theory as a health metric. From an existing bond graph of a squirrel cage induction motor, ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic performance of gas microbearings, fabricated with deep X-ray lithography and electroplating, will be presented in this article. Static performance in terms of load parameters and ...

Abstract: Microsleeve bearings intended for microrotational machinery were fabricated by X-ray lithography and Ni electroplating. Coated to the working surfaces of the bearings was a 900nm thick uniform ...

Abstract: The Research Committee on Tribology of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Argonne National Laboratories, National Science Foundation, and University of Texas at Austin convened a workshop ...
