... with the presented method. The results show that the presented method allows gas-lubricating analysis of mechanical face seals with discontinuous clearance, and can keep the leakage rate continuous in the radial direction. References 1 Burstein , L. , and Ingman D. , 1999 , “ Effect of Pore...

... in an unignored analysis error. In this paper, pseudo-nine-point finite difference, as a new finite difference method, is introduced to solve the lubrication numerical problem of pressure saw-tooth. Also, application is carried out in gas lubrication of hard disk systems to verify the validity of the new method...

...Coda H. T. Pan; Daejong Kim Five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) characterization of the stability of a gas-lubricated conical bearing of the spiral-groove design is presented for bearing numbers up to 500. Critical points in stability analysis are identified in impedance contour plots separately...

...Y. Feldman; Y. Kligerman; I. Etsion; S. Haber Microdimples generated by laser surface texturing (LST) can be used to enhance performance in hydrostatic gas-lubricated tribological components with parallel surfaces. The pressure distribution and load carrying capacity for a single three-dimensional...
