Abstract: The effects of heat generation and the resulting temperature profiles on the traction coefficient for two rollers in EHD contact are determined. An exact solution for the velocity profile through ...

Abstract: The analytical solution for the normal load carrying capacity of lightly loaded cylinders in combined rolling, sliding and normal motion is obtained. It is shown that the load capacity is ...

Abstract: This study deals with the development of a programming procedure for the analysis and design of general problems of elastic bodies in contact. The procedure utilizes a simplex-type algorithm. ...

Abstract: The transmissibility characteristics of oil-lubricated porous journal bearings are analytically determined for a rigid rotor mounted in both the horizontal and the vertical positions. The bearing ...

Abstract: A generalized technique is presented in this paper for evaluation of load distribution in gear systems and automated selection of optimal modification for the best possible distribution based ...

Abstract: The design problem is formulated for multi-recess hydrostatic journal bearings with a design criterion of minimum total power loss. The design is subject to the constraints of constant ratio ...

Abstract: This investigation deals with the stability characteristics of lubricated porous journal bearings. Using the short-bearing approximation and a fully cavitated film, the regions of stability are ...
