In this paper, the effects of an air bubble on the Newtonian squeeze film characteristics between two circular parallel plates with sinusoidal relative motion are theoretically investigated by considering the fluid film inertia effects. In the derivation of the lubrication equation, a single central air bubble of a cylindrical shape is considered. Approximating the momentum equation governing the squeeze film flow by the mean value averaged across the film thickness and assuming an ideal gas under isothermal condition for an air bubble, a nonlinear differential equation for the bubble radius is obtained. The nonlinear differential equation is solved by the Runge-Kutta-Gill method, and then the squeeze film force is determined. Moreover, the analytical solutions for the air bubble radius and pressure distribution are derived based on the perturbation method for a small amplitude of sinusoidal motion, and the analytical results are compared with the numerical results. From the calculated results, the combined effects of air bubble and fluid film inertia on the squeeze film force are clarified.

In this paper, the magnetic effects on the Newtonian squeeze film between two circular parallel plates, containing a single central air bubble of cylindrical shape are theoretically investigated. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the circular plates, which are in sinusoidal relative motion, and fluid film inertia effects are included in the analysis. Assuming an ideal gas under isothermal condition for an air bubble, a nonlinear differential equation for the bubble radius is obtained by approximating the momentum equation governing the magnetohydrodynamic squeeze film by the mean value averaged across the film thickness. Approximate analytical solutions for the air bubble radius, pressure distribution, and squeeze film force are determined by a perturbation method for small amplitude of sinusoidal motion and are compared with the numerical solution obtained by solving the nonlinear differential equation. The combined effects of air bubble, fluid film inertia, and magnetic field on the squeeze film force are analyzed.

Inertial coefficients for full squeeze-film bearings are evaluated theoretically using Smith's differential equation relating fluid-film pressure to journal acceleration (1). The variations of the non-dimensionalized inertial coefficients with static eccentricity ratio in the radial and transverse directions are compared with some corresponding values obtained from Reinhardt and Lund (2) and Szeri et al. (3). The results from these three methods show good agreement, especially for short bearings (that is bearings with low values of length–diameter ratio). However, Smith's approach has the advantage of computational simplicity and leads to fairly simple, asymptotic, analytical expressions for very short, and very long, bearings.

AbstractIn this paper, we present several new oscillation criteria for a second order nonlinear differential equation with mixed neutral terms of the form $$ \bigl(r(t) \bigl(z'(t)\bigr)^{\alpha }\bigr)'+q(t)x^{\beta } \bigl(\sigma (t)\bigr)=0,\quad t\geq t_{0}, $$(r(t)(z′(t))α)′+q(t)xβ(σ(t))=0,t≥t0, where $z(t)=x(t)+p_{1}(t)x(\tau (t))+p_{2}(t)x(\lambda (t))$z(t)=x(t)+p1(t)x(τ(t))+p2(t)x(λ(t)) and α, β are ratios of two positive odd integers. Our results improve and complement some well-known results which were published recently in the literature. Two examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of our results.

The aim of this paper is to presents a theoretical analysis on squeeze-film characteristics of a rough porous circular stepped plate in the vicinity of pressure-dependent viscosity and lubrication by micropolar fluids. A closed-form expression for non-dimensional pressure, load, and squeezing time is derived based on Eringen’s theory, Darcy’s equation, and Christensen’s stochastic approach. Results indicate that the effects of pressure-dependent viscosity, surface roughness, and micropolar fluids play an important role in increasing the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time, whereas the presence of porous media decreases the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time of the rough porous circular stepped plates.

This paper deals with the boundedness of solutions to a nonlinear differential equation of fourth order. Using the Cauchy formula for the particular solution of nonhomogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients, we prove that the solution and its derivatives up to order three are bounded.
