This paper investigates the adequacy of the theoretical model in predicting the unbalance response of a rotor supported in hydrodynamic gas lubricated journal bearings. The magnitude of experimental whirl amplitudes induced by applying various unbalances to a rotor supported in hydrodynamic journal bearings were measured and compared to the theoretical predictions. Variables investigated were rotor unbalance, rotor speed, and bearing load. Reasonable agreement between the experimental and theoretical results was obtained.

Theory And Experiment

A dual rotor rig is developed and is briefly discussed. The rig is capable of simulating dynamically the two spool aeroengine, though it does not physically resemble the actual aeroengine configuration. Critical speeds, mode shape, and unbalance response are determined experimentally. An extended transfer matrix procedure in complex variables is developed for obtaining unbalance response of dual rotor system. Experimental results obtained are compared with theoretical results and are found to be in reasonable agreement.

In order to determine the threshold of instability for an unsymmetrical rigid rotor supported by two identical self-acting, plain-cylindrical gas journal bearings, a theoretical approach is made by the use of the quasi-static nonliner PH method. Influence of various parameters affecting the threshold of instability of the unsymmetrical rotor is experimentally shown and compared with the theoretical results. The experimental variables considered in this paper include bearing load, bearing length, bearing clearance, the axial deviation of the center of gravity from the center of the rotor span. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental and theoretical results.

This paper deals with friction and the field of temperature in the lubricant film of journal bearings. Theoretical results regarding the thermal behavior are checked with experimental data and good agreement is found. Emphasis is put on the variation of temperature and lubricant flow with the operating characteristics of the bearing and it is seen that theoretical predictions for minima of friction torque are backed by temperature measurements. Further on, the friction torque and the mechanism of heat dissipation in bearings are dealt with, in order to verify the assumptions used in the calculation schemes. The means of efficiently cooling the bearing are also discussed, as well as the part played by the divergent zone in this process.

Theoretical Results

Theoretical model has been formulated of the flow of liquid in a randomly packed trickle bed column equipped with special wall flow deflecting rings (WFDR). Solutions have been obtained of the model for the case of a single ring. Theoretical results have been compared with experimental distributions of liquid in a 188.6 mm in diameter column packed with 25 mm Raschig rings and equipped with a single WFDR. Reasonable agreement of the theory with experimental results has been found and the theory is felt to be important in the future for optimizations of the number, size and spacing of the WFDR's to be used in industrial columns to check the extent of the flow on the wall.

This paper describes the step response characteristics of hydrostatic journal bearings with self-controlled restrictors employing a floating disk. This type of bearing can achieve very high static stiffness by controlling the mass flow rate of the fluid entering the bearing clearance using a floating disk. Many design parameters such as supply pressure, viscosity, the magnitude of the step load and the imposed static load affect the step response characteristics of the proposed bearing. Therefore, the influences of each design parameter on the step response characteristics are theoretically investigated in this paper. Furthermore, the theoretical results are compared with the experimental results in order to verify the theoretical predictions. It is subsequently found that the proposed bearing consistently shows a stable step response irrespective of the step-load direction.

Abstract A great variety of complex physical, natural and artificial systems are governed by statistical distributions, which often follow a standard exponential function in the bulk, while their tail obeys the Pareto power law. The recently introduced κ-statistics framework predicts distribution functions with this feature. A growing number of applications in different fields of investigation are beginning to prove the relevance and effectiveness of κ-statistics in fitting empirical data. In this paper, we use κ-statistics to formulate a statistical approach for epidemiological analysis. We validate the theoretical results by fitting the derived κ-Weibull distributions with data from the plague pandemic of 1417 in Florence as well as data from the COVID-19 pandemic in China over the entire cycle that concludes in April 16, 2020. As further validation of the proposed approach we present a more systematic analysis of COVID-19 data from countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom, obtaining very good agreement between theoretical predictions and empirical observations. For these countries we also study the entire first cycle of the pandemic which extends until the end of July 2020. The fact that both the data of the Florence plague and those of the Covid-19 pandemic are successfully described by the same theoretical model, even though the two events are caused by different diseases and they are separated by more than 600 years, is evidence that the κ-Weibull model has universal features.

AbstractA great variety of complex physical, natural and artificial systems are governed by statistical distributions, which often follow a standard exponential function in the bulk, while their tail obeys the Pareto power law. The recently introduced $$\kappa $$ κ -statistics framework predicts distribution functions with this feature. A growing number of applications in different fields of investigation are beginning to prove the relevance and effectiveness of $$\kappa $$ κ -statistics in fitting empirical data. In this paper, we use $$\kappa $$ κ -statistics to formulate a statistical approach for epidemiological analysis. We validate the theoretical results by fitting the derived $$\kappa $$ κ -Weibull distributions with data from the plague pandemic of 1417 in Florence as well as data from the COVID-19 pandemic in China over the entire cycle that concludes in April 16, 2020. As further validation of the proposed approach we present a more systematic analysis of COVID-19 data from countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom, obtaining very good agreement between theoretical predictions and empirical observations.

In order to minimize drift in a thick film resistor both printing and trimming parameters have to be optimized carefully.With the aid of a linear theoretical model it is shown how the resistance drift in the bulk transition zone and terminals of the resistor can be calculated for both trimmed and untrimmed resistors.The theoretical results are used for optimization of laser trimmed high ohmic resistors. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions and confirm that thick film resistors can be optimized for low drift.

Sophisticated Model

The aim of this paper is to make available to the industrial designer results of the thermohydrodynamic theory of journal bearings, by providing a simplified, yet accurate model of journal bearing lubrication that can be implemented on a personal computer and be used in an interactive mode. The simplified THD theory we propose consists of two coupled ordinary differential equations for pressure and energy and an algebraic equation for viscosity, which are to be solved iteratively. Bearing load capacity, maximum bearing temperature, maximum pressure, coefficient of friction and lubricant flow rate calculated from this simplified theory compare well with results from a more sophisticated model. We also make comparisons with experimental data on full journal bearings, demonstrating substantial agreement between experiment and simplified theory.
