The tilting-pad journal bearing in the cooling system of the nuclear power plant is equipped
below the ground and vertically positioned to accomplish its function for water transfer …

Wear usually occurs in the loaded part of hydrodynamic bearings and leads to bearing
geometry imperfections. This paper investigates the effects of wear-induced geometric …

As a pivotal frictional pair of piston pumps, the piston-liner interface is vulnerable to rapid
wear in the face of severe environment, triggering a consequent contraction in the piston …

Tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) are highly self-adaptive for serving as support bearings
in marine gas turbines. However, the research on the transient lubrication performance of …

The behavior of piston-cylinder interfaces takes important influences on lubricating
characteristics of the high-pressure piston pump. For the sake of revealing the lubricating …

This work presents a thermo-hydrodynamic model of a tilting pad journal bearing (TPJB)
supported on flexible pivots and considering direct injection on the bearing gap. It initially …

In this paper, the dynamics of tilting pad journal bearings (TPJB) with four and eight pads are
studied and compared experimentally and numerically. The experiments are performed on a …

Purpose In high-pressure pumps, due to the interaction of asperities on the upper and lower
surfaces, the piston–cylinder interface suffers severe lubrication and sealing problems …

The design of five-pad tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB) is complicated because of the
uncertainty of design parameters that greatly affects the performance of TPJB. In this study …

In rotating machines, tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs) are widely used because of their
enhanced design stability in comparison with alternative bearing configurations. In the …
