    • Whalen, John; Cerny, Vaclav; Polreich, Vaclav; He, Minhui (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      A new 46 MW steam turbine became unstable as the load on the turbine was increased. The turbine had a relatively long slender shaft and the subsynchronous frequency was near the first critical speed of 1800 rpm. In an ...
    • Watson-Kassa, Cori; Fabijonas, Bruce; Fittro, Roger; DeCamillo, Scan; He, Minhui; Wood, Houston (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      A series of journal bearing tests were conducted to acquire more detailed information on the behavior of individual pads in a tilting pad journal bearing and how the individual behavior may affect the performance and dynamic ...
    • He, Minhui; Cloud, C. Hunter; Byrne, James M.; Vázquez, Jose A. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Tutorial 14: Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film journal bearing is critical to a machine’s overall reliability level. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase making it challenging ...

    • He, Minhui; Byrne, James (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film thrust bearing is critical to the overall reliability of a machine. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase, making it challenging for the plant ...
    • DeCamillo, Scan M.; He, Minhui; Cloud, C. Hunter (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
      Peculiar, low-frequency, radial vibrations have been observed in various turbomachinery using tilt-pad journal bearings. Unlike discrete subsynchronous spikes that often indicate a serious problem, the vibrations are ...
    • Byrne, James; He, Minhui; Holscher, Norbert; Pettinato, Brian (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      Turbomachinery bearings: Sleeve and tilting pad journal bearings, Thrust bearings, Babbitt bearing failures Bearing upgrades: Clearances, preload, offset, Installation, Oil Specific questions: Journal bearing fit – loose? ...
    • He, Minhui; Byrne, James M.; Cloud, C. Hunter; Vazquez, Jose A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
      Predicting the performance of directly lubricated bearings is a challenge facing bearing manufacturers and end users alike. In this study, thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) theories are applied to analyze three directly ...
