    • Development and validation of an analytical model for the notched pocket damper seal 
      Kannan Srinivas, Bharathwaj (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Experiments conducted at the Texas A&M Turbomachinery Laboratory and field applications have shown that pocket damper seals (PDS) can be used to suppress vibrations in compressors. A mathematical model is presented for the ...
    • Experimental evaluation of wire mesh for design as a bearing damper 
      Choudhry, Vivek Vaibhav (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 ...
    • The influence of internal friction on rotordynamic instability 
      Srinivasan, Anand (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Internal friction has been known to be a cause of whirl instability in built-up rotors since the early 1900's. This internal damping tends to make the rotor whirl at shaft speeds greater than a critical speed, the whirl ...
    • A method of Weil sum in multivariate quadratic cryptosystem 
      Harayama, Tomohiro (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
      A new cryptanalytic application is proposed for a number theoretic tool Weil sum to the birthday attack against multivariate quadratic trapdoor function. This new customization of the birthday attack is developed by ...
