Abstract: A new hydrostatic spherical hinge is developed in this paper to provide a large load capacity. The static and dynamic Reynolds equations in spherical coordinate system for incompressible Newtonian fluid were established ...

Abstract: This technical brief presents a new selfcompensation hydrostatic spherical hinge to provide a large load capacity. The hinge consists of an upper part with selfcompensation and a lower part with orifice restrictors. A ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a motorized spindle with externally pressurized air bearings. The externally pressurized air bearings consist of a journal bearing and a double pad ...

Abstract: This paper studies the static and dynamic coefficients of an externally pressurized porous gas journal bearing. The finite difference method is used to solve the Reynolds equation of the bearing to obtain the static load ...
