Abstract: An analysis is given for the hydrodynamic lubrication of short porous metal bearings that are press-fitted into a solid housing. An exact solution is given for the pressure of the lubricant ...

Abstract: The squeeze film behavior between two circular disks is analyzed when one disk has a porous facing and approaches the other disk with uniform velocity. The modified Reynolds equation governs ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is presented to predict the performance of an externally pressurized porous gas thrust bearing. When the wall thickness of the pad is small compared to its radius, the ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of squeeze film in a narrow porous journal bearing under a cyclic load is analyzed. A thin-walled bearing with a nonrotating journal is considered and a closed form ...

Abstract: The squeeze film behavior in a hemispherical porous bearing under a steady load is analyzed. A nonspinning spherical rotor moves vertically down toward the inner surface of the bearing squeezing ...
