Numerical analysis of a finite length slider bearing with wall slip shows that the surface limiting shear stress exerts complicated influences on the hydrodynamic behavior of the gap flow. If the slip occurs at either the stationary surface or the moving surface （especially at the stationary surface）, there is a transition point in the initial limiting shear stress for the proportional coefficient to affect the hydrodynamic load support in two opposite ways： it increases the hydrodynamic load support at higher initial limiting shear stresses, but decreases the hydrodynamic load support at lower initial limiting shear stresses. If the slip occurs at the moving surface only, no fluid pressure is generated in the case of null initial limiting shear stress. If the slip occurs at both the surfaces with the same slip property, the hydrodynamic load support goes off after a critical sliding speed is reached. A small initial limiting shear stress and a small proportionality coefficient always give rise to a low friction drag.展开更多

Two models of taper contamination, including the effect of skew angle and the number of the railwith taper contamination as well as the amount of contaminator on the taper,are investigated respectively. Anequivalent scheme is applied to evaluate the frequency responses with different flying attitudes in three de-grees of freedom. Ca1culations show that whether model is considered and how many tapers are contaminated,the static and dynamic characteristics of the slider change little in a very large contamination scale,but oncethe amount of contaminator exceeds some limit,the flying attitude of the slider is degraded catastrophically,which is easy to cause the slider crash. The skew angle,when it is large enough,may ameliorate or deterioratethe flying characteristics of the slider depending on the slider attitude when the transverse air flow passesthrough it.展开更多

The UGKS solutions are first val- idated by comparison with direct simulation Monte Carlo results. After valida- tion, the UGKS is used to study the air-bearing problem under different non- equilibrium conditions. On the surface of the slider, the dependency of the gas pressure and normal force on the Mach and Knudsen numbers are fully evaluated. The non-equilibrium effect on the force loading in the whole transition regime up to the free molecular limit is also studied.展开更多

The flying characteristics performance of this novel femto slider is relatively stable over different radii. This optimized slider achieved a flying height of 3 nm, with variation of about 0.2 nm. The variations for pitch and roll values are 6 μrad and 0.9 μrad respectively. In the studies for the effect of side rail on flying characteristics, it was found that there exists transition of pitch value when the side rail is located very close to the leading edge. The modulation of flying height reduces greatly when the areas of double shallow steps increase. The roll variation reduces when the flat double shallow steps profile is modified into a “V-Shape” profile.展开更多

By means of dynamic explicit finite element method, 3D nonlinear structure is simulated. It is proved that the mechanism can effectively accomplish smart movement prescribed. And in order to ensure reciprocal movement with higher frequency, measures should be taken to avoid over heating of parts. Compared with internal energy, kinetic energy of total rigid body is dominating, and Ydirection equivalent rigid velocity is much higher than X direction velocity. Equivalent rigid velocity of all parts is consistent with respective movement condition. For both energy and velocity, slider effect is dominating. Three direction equivalent inertia force oscillates. Force amplitude in Y-direction is comparitively the greatest.展开更多

This paper investigates the multibody dynamics of a rotating flexible annular thin disk subjected to double slider loading systems. Along the rotating disk radial and circumferential directions, two stationary slider loading systems are distributed. System dynamic model is solved by Galerkin＇s method, and then natural frequency, dynamic stability and mode shape are determined with a quadratic eigenvalue problem. Effects of the distributing positions and interaction mechanism of the double slider loading systems on natural frequency, dynamic stability and mode shape are discussed and investigated.展开更多

Through dynamic analysis, designers can investigate the effects of the clearances on the dynamics of the multibody system. A revolute joint with clearance exhibits three motions which are;free-flight, impact and continuous contact motion modes. Therefore, a multibody system with n-number of revolute clearance joints will exhibit 3n motion modes which are a combination of the three motions in each joint. This study investigates experimentally the nine motion modes in a mechanical system with two revolute clearance joints. A slider crank mechanism has been used as the demonstrative example. We observed that the experimental curve exhibits a greater impact compared to the simulation curve. In conclusion, this experimental investigation offers valuable insights into the dynamics of planar mechanical systems with multiple clearance revolute joints. Utilizing a slider-crank mechanism for data acquisition, the study successfully confirmed seven out of nine motion modes previously identified in numerical research. The missing modes are attributed to inherent complexities in real-world systems, such as journal-bearing misalignment.展开更多
