Hydrostatic bearing is a key part that provides precision and long life to machine tools. It is
one of the embodiments of tribology, mechanics, optimization method, and structural design …

The non-linear stability of finite length self-acting gas journal bearings is studied by solving a
time-dependent Reynolds equation using finite difference method. Two threshold values are …

New, detailed flow field measurements are presented for a very large low-speed cascade
representative of a high-pressure turbine rotor blade with turning of 110 deg and blade …

A mathematical model and a computational methodology are presented to simulate the
complicated flow behaviors of the journal microbearing in the slip regime, at which the …

Based on the nonlinear theory, the unbalanced responses of a fixed-tilting-pad gas-
lubricated journal bearing-rigid rotor system are investigated. A time-dependent …

Axial-grooved gas-lubricated journal bearings have been widely applied to precision
instrument due to their high accuracy, low friction, low noise and high stability. The rotor …

An overview of the development of micro-rotor dynamics for micro-electro-mechanical
systems (MEMS) in China is presented. We consider the most important coupling between …
