Lubrication Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Porous gas bearings (PGBs) enable high‐speed, oil‐free operation in modern rotating machinery. This study develops a coupled thermo‐hydrodynamic (THD) model for a cylindrical porous gas bearing lubricated with four working fluids—air, R‐134a, helium and hydrogen.

Analysis of high load dampers [PDF]
High load damping requirements for modern jet engines are discussed. The design of damping systems which could satisfy these requirements is also discusseed. In order to evaluate high load damping requirements, engines in three major classes were studied;

From Stability to Chaos: A Complete Classification of the Damped Klein‐Gordon Dynamics
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the transition between stability and chaos in the damped Klein‐Gordon equation, a fundamental model for wave propagation and energy dissipation. Using semigroup methods and spectral criteria, we derive explicit thresholds that determine when the system exhibits asymptotic stability and when it displays strong chaotic dynamics ...

Effect of Variations in the Ring Thickness on the Dynamic Performance of the Bimetal Gears
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study used a six‐degrees‐of‐freedom dynamic model to analyze the dynamic response of bimetal spur gears. Aluminum alloy forms the core of the bimetal gears, and a uniform‐thickness steel ring surrounds the teeth. Gear mesh stiffness of bimetal gears and the transmission error have been assessed using a numerical approach based on finite ...

Candidate proof mass actuator control laws for the vibration suppression of a frame [PDF]
The vibration of an experimental flexible space truss is controlled with internal control forces produced by several proof mass actuators. Four candidate control law strategies are evaluated in terms of performance and robustness.
