Abstract: The paper deals with the influence of the load torque on the critical velocities of a shaft mounted on short bearings. While in most works on this subject the load torque is taken as axial, ...

Abstract: A model of an unbalanced rotor, driven by a torsion-flexible shaft through a constant velocity joint, is used to investigate the combination-resonance effect in coupled torsional-transverse ...

Abstract: An approximate method for the design of electrodynamic oscillating gas compressors is developed. A linear spring-damper load is used to approximate the gas load at a single design point. Equations ...

Abstract: In Part 1, electrodynamic drivers are designed for a single, linearized load. In this part, a digital computer simulation program is described. This program more accurately models the nonlinearities ...

Abstract: A method is presented for obtaining and optimizing the frequency response of one-dimensional damped linear continuous systems. The systems considered are assumed to contain unknown constant ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is developed for the nonlinear vibrations of automatic reed valves in high-speed refrigeration compressors. Specifically considered are a general class of values which wrap ...

Abstract: The transverse vibrational characteristics of the connecting rod in a slider-crank mechanism are investigated. The equations of motion are derived, simplified, and solved. For the solution, two ...

Abstract: In flexible automation approach to batch or job-shop production the main emphasis has always been on the re-programmability of the elements of a manufacturing system. The assumption that lies ...
