• Behaviour of a Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing: Torque Measurement During Start-Up 

      Bouyer, Jean; Fillon, Michel (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The start-up friction coefficient in hydrodynamic bearings, used by engineers in the design of bearings, is most often issued from an approximation. Several studies can be found in the literature on this topic but most of ...
    • Hydrodynamic Effects of Texture Geometries on Journal Bearing Surfaces 

      Tala-Ighil, Nacer; Maspeyrot, Patrick; Fillon, Michel; Bounif, Abdelhamid (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      Lately, the expanding range of tribological applications to the microscopic levels has revived interest in this field. Actually, little is understood about the subtle effects of variations of a journal bearing’s profile ...
