Abstract: The stability and vibration response of a spherical squeeze-film hybrid bearing were analyzed theoretically. Since the squeeze frequency is typically much higher than the vibration frequency, the ...

Abstract: The squeeze-film bearing has been considered for the output axis of high performance gyroscopes. Viewing this application, it is important that the parasitic torque of the bearing be very small. ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of a double squeeze-film thrust plate was analyzed theoretically. Asymptotic approximations were used in calculating the squeeze-film forces. The dynamic response was found ...

Abstract: A bearing damper, operating on the support flexure of a pivoted pad in a tilting-pad type gas-lubricated journal bearing, has been designed, built, and tested under externally applied random ...

Abstract: Spherical squeeze-film hybrid bearings were analyzed theoretically. Based on an asymptotic approximation for large squeeze number, the solution of the Reynolds’ equation applicable to the system ...

Abstract: A high-speed turbogenerator employing gas-lubricated hydrodynamic journal and thrust bearings was subjected to external random vibrations for the purpose of assessing bearing performance in a dynamic ...

Abstract: The pulsating flows in both infinite and finite conical nozzles were analyzed theoretically. Sinusoidal pressure disturbances were impressed at the nozzle exit for the infinite nozzle and at ...
