Understanding the influence of surface properties (roughness, grooves, discrete
textures/dimples) on the performance of hydrodynamically lubricated contacts has been the …

The analysis of turbocharger rotordynamics has been conducted so far focusing solely on
the effect of radial bearings on the non-linear oscillations of the rotor-bearing system. It is …

Though finite length squeeze film dampers (FLSFD) are practically and effectively applied to
vibration attenuation, they have not been popularly used in bevel gear systems (BGS) due to …

Scratches on bearing surfaces can significantly affect the performance and lifespan of
journal bearings. This study investigates the impact of scratches on two-lobe journal …

This Series provides the necessary elements to the development and validation of numerical
prediction models for hydrodynamic bearings. This book describes the thermo …

To analyze the dynamic characteristics of gear systems supported by squeeze film dampers
(SFD), the nonlinear oil-film force of SFD is usually obtained by the short bearing …

The lifespan of journal bearings is directly related to the operating conditions they have to
face and reducing their maintenance intervals allows one to have a clear idea about their …

This Series provides the necessary elements to the development and validation of numerical
prediction models for hydrodynamic bearings. This book with the specific case of internal …

Validation of a contact model which is sensitive to the elastoplastic deformation of asperities
and rheological changes to the lubricant properties is presented. The contact model was …

Servo cylinders with hydrostatic bearings are employed when ultimate speed, low friction, or
high precision are required. These advantages are opposed by a considerable leakage loss …
