Abstract: The paper presents a numerical solution for the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of low modulus point contacts which is broadly equivalent to the theory of Grubin for materials of high elastic ...

Abstract: The paper describes three different numerical techniques for the accurate evaluation of the elastic deformation in elastohydrodynamic point contacts. The first method relies on a first order ...

Abstract: Recent studies of the cavitation zone in the journal bearing indicate that a sublayer of lubricant adheres to the journal surface. Based on this observation, it is proposed in the present ...

Abstract: The pore size characteristics are widely used in specifying and comparing filter media. Several methods of calculation have been prepared by researchers and some of these have formed the basis ...

Abstract: A closed-form pressure distribution, using a combination of short- and long-bearing approximations, is proposed for dynamically loaded journal bearings. The angles for start and finish of positive ...

Abstract: In the past few decades the research efforts towards efficient solutions of crankshaft bearing using both rapid (e.g., analytical, semi-analytical, curve fits) and rigorous numerical approaches ...

Abstract: Using fluorescence microscopy, the inkjet deposition dynamics of monodispersed polystyrene particles in the size range of 0.02–1.1 μm have been studied on glass, Ar plasma cleaned glass, and ...

Abstract: The present work is on prediction of temperature distribution in noncircular journal bearings and the surrounding solids. Three forms are studied, viz. two-lobe, elliptical and orthogonally displaced ...
