Abstract: This contribution is concerned with the development and the implementation of a foil air journal bearing model. For this purpose, the numerical procedure solving the Reynolds equation for compressible fluids has to be ...

Abstract: The parking maneuver of a passenger car is known by bench and vehicle testers to sometimes produce brake squeal, even though the brake system is otherwise quiet. This phenomenon is examined in this work. Pressure foil ...

Abstract: In order to obtain a fast solution scheme, the trajectory piecewise linear (TPWL) method is applied to the transient elastohydrodynamic (EHD) line contact problem for the first time. TPWL approximates the nonlinearity of ...
