Abstract: An analysis is made of the performance of narrow porous metal bearings (e.g., sintered bronze powder) which operate with a full film of lubricant. The configuration considered is that in which ...

Abstract: An analytical solution which includes frictional effects is developed for the pressure occurring in a pipeline when Poiseuille flow is stopped by the sudden closure of a valve. Limitations and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the temporal and spatial stability of Poiseuille flow in elastic tubes to infinitesimal axisymmetric disturbances. A cylindrical shell model which ...

Abstract: Two separate experiments were performed and the results were compared with theory: (1) The propagation of a short, rectangular pulse of pressure in a cylindrical tube of previously undisturbed ...

Abstract: Previous investigations have shown that a liquid-filled tapered tube can be used as a transformer for amplifying or reducing the magnitude of input pulses of pressure and volume flux, but the ...

Abstract: Partial porous metal bearings are analyzed to determine their performance during steady-state operating conditions with a full film of lubricant. The pressure distribution is determined by a ...

Abstract: The problem of steady-state, small amplitude, periodic wave propagation in a viscous, compressible liquid contained in an infinitely long, elastic tube is solved for the complex propagation ...
