Abstract: The performances of the tribo-pairs are greatly influenced by introducing the grooved surfaces. Developments of the newer type of lubricants have made a great impact on the performance of fluid film bearings. This article ...

Abstract: To improve the performance accuracy of a conical journal bearing system, the surface error needs to be considered in the analysis since a tiny difference in dimensional values can alter the performance; the consideration ...

Abstract: To harness higher axial load capacity, a larger cone angle is used in conical bearings, resulting in an increase in the surface area which in turn increases the frictional power loss. The use of microgrooves in journal ...

Abstract: Surface irregularities substantially affect the performance of tribological systems. The influence of three-dimensional surface irregularities on the behavior of hole-entry spherical hybrid journal bearings has been ...

Abstract: In the present study, the dynamic behavior of the last stage low-pressure steam turbine blade with fir-tree root at different conditions of blade root flank faces and their interfaces with rotor groove have been analyzed. ...
