Abstract: The linearized ph approximation to the time dependent Reynolds equation is solved simultaneously with the equations of motion for a rotating journal shaft supported by a rigidly mounted bearing ...

Abstract: The isothermal compression, up to nearly half the liquid densities, of argon, nitrogen, and methane at three different temperatures ranging from 0–150 deg C are investigated by using the cell ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is presented to evaluate the thermal loading of a concrete roof slab heated by solar radiation. Roof temperatures are computed from standard meteorological data and the material properties of the roof. ...

Abstract: The dispersion of a small quantity of a solute initially injected into a round tube in which steady-state laminar flow exists is critically examined. It is shown that the mean solute concentration ...

Abstract: The paper shows how unstable parametric vibrations of a uniform beam can be controlled. A control law is proposed and it is shown that the beam can be made to vibrate at a present amplitude ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with instability of a rotor that arises due to fluid film forces of a journal bearing. The half frequency whirl and the resulting oil whip phenomena is explained by ...
