The Steady Performance of Complaint-surface Aerostatic Thrust Bearings
… apparatus to determine the bulk modulus of the elastomers to be used was also constructed, and the design was similar in principle of operation to one described by Rightmire [305]. Experiments were first performed on rigid bearings to develop the rig. A method of predicting load capacity was …

Elastomer Degradation in Chemically Reactive Environment under Elevated Temperature and Pressurized Condition
Mechanical properties of elastomer undergo accelerated degradation when immersed in chemically active environment, especially at elevated temperature and/or under high pressure. Beside physical relaxation due to the viscoelastic nature of polymers, diffusion-reaction process plays an important role …

Dynamic Interactions Between Multidimensional Viscoelastic Joints and an Elastic Frame Structure
… in the automotive industry to judiciously design elastomeric joints at the interfaces between elastic structures that balance the competing needs of ride and handling, durability, and vibration isolation for the next generation fuel efficient vehicles. A typical elastomeric joint is geometrically …
