Abstract: In this paper the stability of nonlinear misaligned rotor-bearing systems is investigated, using the Lyapunov direct method. A finite element formulation is used to determine the journal bearing ...

Abstract: The present study examines the mechanical behavior and corrosion resistance in dual phase B500c reinforced steel used in concrete structures, before and after applying a layer of aluminum coating in intense corrosion ...

Abstract: This paper presents an optimization study of the geometry of three-dimensional micro-thrust bearings in a wide range of convergence ratios. The optimization goal is the maximization of the bearing ...

Abstract: A rotor bearing system is expected to exhibit large vibration amplitudes when subjected to a large seismic excitation. It is possible that these vibrations can lead to large values the ...
