Abstract: The inherent limitations of load capacity and stability of hydrodynamic gas-lubricated bearings can be reduced by introducing external pressure and creating a hybrid bearing. Numerical computerized ...

Abstract: This technical correspondence presents a surprisingly simple analytical criterion for the stability of general second-order asymmetric linear systems. The criterion is based on the fact that if ...

Abstract: The governing equation of lubrication theory was developed by Osborne Reynolds in 1886. Two-dimensional solutions to this equation were not obtained until many years afterwards, first by electric ...

Abstract: Vertically sheared airflow over semi-infinite barriers is investigated with a simple hydrodynamical model. The idealized flow is steady, two-dimensional, neutrally buoyant, and inviscid, bounded on the bottom by a semi-infinite ...

Abstract: The brightness of the planet Jupiter is found to be related to mean annual and monthly relative sunspot numbers which are used to indicate the general level of solar activity. The evidence for the relationship is presented ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for unsteady drag-induced transfer of horizontal momentum between air and raindrops in moderate to heavy rainfall is presented. The model accounts for a two-way coupling in which the relative horizontal ...

Abstract: An improved amplitude restoring interpolation operator is specialized into a form that corrects the phase error as well as the amplitude damping introduced by two-point linear interpolation. The efficiency and accuracy of ...
