Abstract: A complete analytical model of bump-type foil bearings taking into consideration the effects of four factors, i.e., the elasticity of bump foil, the interaction forces between bumps, the friction ...

Abstract: The applications of foil air bearings have been extended for use in a wide range of turbomachineries with high speed and high temperature. Lubricant temperature becomes an important factor in ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for the self-excited sloshing due to the fluid discharge over a flexible weir, as observed in the cooling circuit of the French fast breeder reactor, ...
