Abstract: The compressibility effects of lubricating films incurring a roughness on film thickness averaging were studied numerically with a focus on the physical interpretation of the roughness effects. ...

Abstract: The nonlinear equation for the rotational vibration of a pair of spur gears has a restriction that the analytical solution of the equation cannot be obtained. In this paper, the linear equation ...

Abstract: At the first stage of a hydro-power survey of a river, it is important to select the optimal hydro-power site. The most important condition to be satisfied is to determine the optimal site ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical analyses of the dynamic characteristics of gas-lubricated slider bearings under high Knudsen number conditions using a generalized lubrication equation based on the ...
