Abstract: Two-dimensional pressure field of circular disk grooved thrust bearing when it does three kinds of elementary unsteady motions has been successfully analyzed using potential flow theory. The ...

Abstract: Piercing of brittle sheets, which is difficult to achieve by conventional shearing or drilling, is achieved using a new manufacturing process utilizing the impact compression of a viscoplastic ...

Abstract: The authors’ previous papers demonstrated that an air-separator is the most effective equipment among various different types for the improvement of unstable characteristics of an axial-flow rotor. ...

Abstract: Basic equations and idea of the method are described concerning the new two-dimensional theory of thin fluid film of spiral groove bearings. Two-dimensional inviscid flow theory of circular wing ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of a newly proposed supersonic gas thrust bearing are analyzed under supersonic operations. Its static characteristics in sonic operations are also investigated. It is ...

Abstract: A completely new type of externally pressurized gas thrust bearing is proposed and its static characteristics are analyzed. Unlike conventional gas bearings whose load capacity depends on the ...
