Abstract: The threelobe bearings widely used in rotating machinery follow the design data evaluated using numerical methods for the solution of the Reynolds equation. This paper defines exact and approximate analytical solutions of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and implementation of shading and lighting control schemes in an airport building. The airport has several perimeter zones with large glass facades that receive excessive solar gains ...

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamics of turbine generator shaft trains for power generation are investigated in this paper. Realistic models of rotors, pedestals, and nonlinear bearings of partial arc and lemon bore configuration are ...

Abstract: A concept for a journal bearing with variable stiffness and damping properties is developed in order to decrease the vibration amplitude of a rotor-journal bearing system during passage through ...

Abstract: Entry and exit areas are considered critical parts of freeways and expressways. In order to meet traffic safety and operation requirements, it is important that ramps and speed-change lanes have the appropriate design so ...

Abstract: Currently studies exploring the effect of real-time traffic and weather characteristics on crash severity are relatively limited, and studies focusing on powered two-wheelers (PTWs) are even fewer. The objective of this ...

Abstract: When decentralized strategies are considered for managing wastewater, natural systems for wastewater treatment (NSWT) (constructed wetlands) seem to be strongly preferred in comparison with the conventional activated sludge ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the bifurcations encountered in a simple rotor dynamic system interacting with nonlinear impedance forces, generated by the supporting journal bearings of realistic profile geometry. Bearing ...
