Abstract: An analysis of a finite journal bearing is presented for the case of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a radial magnetic field. The magnetohydrodynamic form of the two-dimensional ...

Abstract: An analysis of hydrodynamic squeeze films is presented for the case of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field. Circular plates and infinitely long rectangular ...

Abstract: A slightly tapered ring riding on a reciprocating shaft can be used as a pump. The pumping capacity of these rings is analyzed.

Abstract: The complete film solution for the squeeze film in an infinitely long journal bearing contains an arbitrary constant. When only positive pressure regions are retained, this constant influences ...

Abstract: The effect of a nonuniform applied magnetic field on the operation of a parallel plate slider bearing is investigated analytically. It is found that the optimum magnetic field profile is a ...
