Effects of couple stresses and convective inertia forces in parallel circular squeeze‐film plates

Jaw‐Ren Lin, Rong‐Fang Lu, Won‐Hsion Liao, Chia‐Chuan Kuo

A theoretical study of the combined effects of non‐Newtonian couple stresses and fluid inertia forces on the squeeze‐film behaviors for parallel circular plates is presented in…

The analysis of the effects of surface roughness of shafts on journal bearings using recurrent hybrid neural network

Cem Sinanoğlu

This paper presents an investigation for analysing the load carrying capacity of journal bearing in a variety of conditions using a proposed neural network (NN). The NN structure…

A linear viscoelastic creep‐contact model of a flat fractal surface: Kelvin‐Voigt medium

Osama M. Abuzeid

The objective of this paper is to construct a continuous model for the viscoelastic contact of a nominal flat punch and a smooth surface of a rigid half‐space. The considered…

Tribological studies of ZrO2‐implanted on stainless steel substrate

Halit Dogan, Fehim Findik, Ahmet Oztarhan

The tribological properties such as surface hardness, friction and wear have been studied for AISI 316L stainless steel substrates which were co‐ion implanted with zirconium and…

Surface roughness effects on squeeze films in curved circular plates

N.B. Naduvinamani, G. Gurubasavaraj

The stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces is used to study the effect of surface roughness on the performance of the squeeze film between circular curved…
