(2017-07-26)Rolling element bearings are used in most electrical machines, especially for small and medium size applications. Under non-ideal operating conditions, ball bearing condition degrades by fatigue, ambient vibration, ...
-
(2015-12-09)Gas turbine engine manufacturers push for increasingly simpler squeeze film damper (SFD) designs that can still provide necessary damping to suppress rotor vibrations and offer stability to rotor-bearing systems. The work ...

(2020-12-01)The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident led to the destruction of three BWR cores and containment buildings. Despite the negative outcomes of this incident, the RCIC system for both Unit 2 and Unit 3 operated in harsher ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Wire mesh vibration dampers have been the subject of some very encouraging experiments at the Texas A&M Turbomachinery laboratories for the past several years and have emerged as an excellent replacement for squeeze film ...

Rotordynamic coefficients for a load-between-pad, flexible-pivot tilting pad bearing at high loads (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The dynamic and static performance of a flexure-pivot tilting pad bearing is presented at a load between pad configuration for various load and speed combinations. A similar work performed on the same bearing at lower loads ...
-
(2012-02-14)Tests are performed on a flexure-pivot-pad tilting-pad bearing with a series integral squeeze film damper in load-between-pads configuration, with both active and locked damper. The damper effects are negated when locked, ...

(2009-06-02)This thesis compares experimental static and dynamic force characteristics for a two-axial-groove bearing and a pressure-dam bearing without a relief track. The thesis also compares experimental results to predictions from ...
