Abstract: It is shown that amplitude and phase spectra should not be used to assess the quality of estimates of oil-film coefficients unless the results are interpreted in conjunction with a sensitivity ...

Abstract: The frequency-domain algorithm developed by the authors to estimate oil-film bearing coefficients uses a Least Squares estimator and produces the variances and confidence bounds for the estimates. ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of controlling the oil supply pressure to squeeze-film bearings in applications where these elements are used to provide damping for a light flexible transmission ...

Abstract: In this paper a nonlinear time variant rigid body dynamic model of the suspension system of an horizontal-axis washing machine is derived using Newton-Euler method, programmed for simulation, ...
