Abstract: In this paper, the beneficial effects of elastic diaphragm deflection within a confined inlet area are demonstrated when it is incorporated in a conventional tilting bearing (diaphragm tilting ...

Abstract: The performance of two types of hydrodynamic thrust bearings, namely the diaphragm tilting thrust pad and the diaphragm stepped thrust pad, is investigated experimentally under low- and high-speed ...

Abstract: The three types of finite width thrust bearings, tilting pad, diaphragm tilting pad and diaphragm stepped pad, are simulated on the PDP-6 computer taking into account thermal effects on the ...

Abstract: In this paper results from experimental studies and computer simulation of hydro-dynamic tilting thrust bearings are presented. The bearing performance in terms of outlet film thickness, friction ...

Abstract: Friction at the interfaces between two rolls and a strip being plastically deformed by the rolls is an important consideration in both theory and practice of metal forming. In this paper, a ...

Abstract: This paper applies the recently introduced Reynolds stress expression (Tieu and Kosasih, 1992) in the transition-turbulent lubrication analysis. The Reynolds stress is modeled using the mixing ...

Abstract: A thermo-elasto-hydrodynamic analysis of an undercut journal bearing is presented whereby elastic deflection is introduced in a certain area of the bearing surface. The hydrodynamic pressure is ...

Abstract: The traditional harmonic excitation method was modified to estimate 16 dynamic force coefficients of two misaligned journal bearings. To avoid the effects of different running conditions on the ...
