Abstract: By use of a quartic velocity profile with one of its coefficients varying along the boundary layer, a technique is developed to calculate the general characteristics of adiabatic separated ...

Abstract: This paper offers an analysis and computer solutions for misaligned thrust faces, including thermal effects and proper cavitation boundary conditions. The geometries analyzed range from full 2π ...

Abstract: The present and its companion papers [6] offer analytical and experimental studies on the fundamental relationships governing the forces in an axially active, transversely passive electro-magnetic ...

Abstract: The paper offers an analysis of face seals, using incompressible fluids, aimed at arriving at a quantitative basis for the design and optimization of seals. To improve its hydrodynamic and ...

Abstract: An analysis was conducted which predicts the contact stresses and deflections in rubber staves of finite thickness loaded against a shaft in rubbing contact. Results are given which cover the ...

Abstract: An analysis is conducted and solutions are provided for the effect of centrifugal forces on the hydrodynamics of high-speed thrust bearings and seals. First, a scrutiny of the individual inertia ...

Abstract: The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of misaligned journal bearings. The equations are valid for finite bearings containing grooves at any angular position in which the misalignment can ...

Abstract: The paper offers a method of including variable viscosity in bearing analysis by the use of a simple energy equation uncoupled from the Reynolds equation. The relevant adiabatic solutions are ...

Abstract: The paper offers an analysis of finite journal bearings having an axially variable clearance. Such bearings are encountered either as a consequence of manufacturing errors and wear, or as ...
