Many different polymers and polymer composites are used for engineering applications in
which friction and wear are critical issues. This article briefs (a) the importance of polymer …

The novelty of this study lies in its investigation of the transient coupling relationship
between 5-Degrees-Of-Freedom (5-DOF) nonlinear dynamics and mixed lubrication …

A multi-purpose Universal Journal Bearing Test Rig (UJBTR) was designed and constructed
for covering this research area. Design and construction of a control system for UJBTR has …

The novelty of this paper is to explore the role of the imperfect journal, including the
amplitude and waviness of journal error, on the tribo-dynamic behaviors of the water …

Hydrodynamic sliding bearings are designed to operate under fully flooded conditions to
enable adequate film formation. In actual operating conditions, journal bearings could …

Abstract Water-lubricated Bearings (WLBs) are the core transmission components of a ship
propulsion system, and their wear behavior primarily occurs during the starting and stopping …

The water-lubricated bearing in ship propulsion system is easily impacted by sea wave
shock, which is a great threat to the smooth start-up of the bearing system. Therefore, in the …

The effect of surface roughness on the transient characteristics of the hydrodynamic
cylindrical bearing during startup is studied. A mixed lubrication model considering both …

In the present works, a tribo-dynamic model considering the transient friction force is
proposed to study the tribo-dynamic performances of the Water-Lubricated Microgroove …

The study presents a transient tribo-dynamic model for journal bearings to reveal the mutual
effect between the mixed thermoelastohydrodynamic (mixed-TEHD) performance and the …
