Most bearings operate with a fluid film -- oil, another liquid, or a gas. By far the largest number of bearings are oil lubricated. The oil film can be maintained through pumping by a pressurization ...

Heat is generated either by shearing of the oil film or by rubbing contact. In hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings, heat generation at running speeds is the result of oil shear, and the amount of ...

LNS America says its Hydrobar Sprint 555 bar feeders incorporate hydrostatic and hydrodynamic principles that allow users to cut up to 12-in. bar stock at maximum spindle speeds without dangerous ...

Hybrid hydrofoil monohulls (HYSWAS) combine hydrostatic and hydrodynamic lift, in effect, merging Swath and hydrofoil technology. Conceptual studies have been carried out in Germany for a 500-ton ...

There are many types of different transmission designs which have been developed to offer advantages for certain types of vehicles. A hydrostatic transmission is a unique setup which utilizes ...

Characterizing forces on deformable objects intruding into sand and soil requires understanding the solid- and fluid-like responses of such substrates and their effect on the state of the object. The ...

Understanding liquid droplet behavior has major implications in coating industry, agriculture, and epidemiology, among others. Although well-studied and extensively researched, the mechanism of ...
