(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This thesis presents numerical predictions for the leakage and direct stiffness coefficients of pocket damper seals. Modifications made to earlier flow-prediction models are discussed. Leakage and static pressure measurements ...
-
(2017-12-04)Data are available for a previously tested annular seal with no swirl brakes (NSB). The NSB seal design was modified by adding slots at the inlet to produce a swirl brake (SB) seal. Tests were conducted to evaluate the ...

(2012-07-16)This research compares the leakage and rotordynamic characteristics of a slanted-tooth labyrinth seal to a conventional straight-tooth labyrinth. Detailed results comparing the rotordynamic coefficients and leakage parameters ...
-
(2012-10-26)Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) refers to the asphalt concrete paving material produced and placed at temperatures approximately 50°F lower than those used for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA). Economic, environmental and engineering benefits ...

Measurements of the Static and Dynamic Load Performance of a Water Lubricated Hybrid Thrust Bearing (2019-02-07)After a successful static load testing campaign in 2015, the thrust bearing test rig has been reconfigured for dynamic load tests to determine force coefficients (stiffness, damping, and added mass). Continuous lubrication ...
-
(2016-12-07)It is known that mechanics plays a central role in many biological events. Tissue can remodel and turnover to adapt to new mechanical environment, such as hypertension and exercising. During the remodeling, hydrolysis of ...
