This is an investigation of the stability of self-acting, gas-lubricating bearings. Two approaches to the solution are presented and their results are compared. Also, the relation is discussed between the present work and other, more simplified, methods available in the literature. The particular case of a 360 deg journal bearing of infinite length is treated, and the changes necessary to use the same theories with other geometries are pointed out.

An investigation is made of the regions of stability for a compressible fluid, squeeze-film journal bearing of infinite length. Motion along one axis considered and the resulting dynamic equation is solved two ways: by variational techniques and by numerical techniques. The solution from the variational analysis can be approximated by a Mathieu equation thus showing that instability can occur at one-half the driving frequency. The numerical analysis shows the stability limits in terms of the load, drive amplitude, and dimensionless “mass.” The stability analysis is significant as there appears to be a rather large number of combinations of the parameters for which the squeeze-film journal is not stable. The stability characteristics of a squeeze-film bearing should, therefore, be examined carefully before application.


In the first part of this paper opportunity has been taken to make some adjustments in certain general formulae of previous papers, the necessity for which appeared in discussions with other workers on this subject. The general results thus amended are then applied to a general discussion of the stability problem including the effect of the trailing wake which was deliberately excluded in the previous paper. The general conclusion is that to a first approximation the wake, as usually assumed, has little or no effect on the reality of the roots of the period equation, but that it may introduce instability of the oscillations, if the centre of gravity of the element is not sufficiently far forward. During the discussion contact is made with certain partial results recently obtained by von Karman and Sears, which are shown to be particular cases of the general formulae. An Appendix is also added containing certain results on the motion of a vortex behind a moving cylinder, which were obtained to justify certain of the assumptions underlying the trail theory.

We prove that the classes of languages accepted by systolic automata over t-ary trees (t-STA) are always either equal or incomparable if one varies t. We introduce systolic tree automata with base (T(b)-STA), a subclass of STA with interesting properties of modularity, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence between a T(b)-STA and a t-STA, for a given base b. Finally, we show that the stability problem for T(b)-ST A is decidible.

Hydraulic descaling system is the key device to ensure the surface quality of billet. However, traditional control methods lead to the stability problem in hydraulic descaling system. To solve the problem, the construction of the hydraulic descaling computer control system is studied, the working principle of the system is analyzed, and the high pressure water bench of hydraulic descaling is designed. Based on it, the corresponding computer control software is developed. The application shows that the designed system is stable in practice, which is helpful for enterprise production.

Purpose The purposes of the present study are to ensure higher sustainability of journal bearings under different applied loads and to observe bearing performances such as elastic strain, total deformation and stress formation. Design/methodology/approach A journal bearing test rig was used to determine the effect of the applied load on the bearing friction, film thickness, lubricant film pressure, etc. A steady-state analysis was performed to obtain the bearing performance. Findings An efficient aspect ratio (L/D) range was obtained to increase the durability or the stability of the bearing while the bearing is in the working condition by using SAE 5W-30 oil. The results from the study were compared with previous studies in which different types of oil and water, such as Newtonian fluid (NF), magnetorheological fluid (MRF) and nonmagnetorheological fluid (NMRF), were used as the lubricant. To ensure a preferable aspect ratio range (0.25-0.50), a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted by ANSYS; the results show a lower elastic strain and deformation within the preferable aspect ratio (0.25-0.50) rather than a higher aspect ratio using the SAE 5W-30 oil. Originality/value It is expected that the findings of this study will contribute to the improvement of the bearing design and the bearing lubricating system.
