1. Nonlinear Isoviscous Behaviour of Compliant Journal Bearings
Abstract : Plans to shut down nuclear power plants in some European countries as well as increased electricity production by wind and solar power will increase the work load on hydroelectric power plants in the future. Also, due to the power grid regulations, hydroelectric power plants undergo more frequent start-ups and shut-downs. READ MORE

2. Design, testing and analysis of journal bearings for construction equipment
Abstract : Grease-lubricated journal bearings present a common challenge for construction equipment manufacturers in the world. The common design methodology is based on empirical data and has worked very well historically because the market and governments have accepted that bearings in construction equipment need frequent lubrication and exchange of worn parts.

4. Sliding bearings for hydropower applications : novel materials, surface texture and EALs
Abstract : Hydropower, the utilisation of water as a means of driving machinery, has been used for many centuries. Today, the great power of water is being harnessed to generate as much as 20% of worldwide electricity. The requirement for reliable and efficient electricity generation needs to be matched by environmental awareness on the part of the industry. READ MORE

5. Thermo-Elasto-Hydrodynamic lubrication modeling of Tilting Pad Journal Bearings
Abstract : The journal bearing is a critical machine element typically used to support rotating motion in high speed machinery. Through the generation of a hydrodynamic pressure in its thin lubricant film,which is usually in the order of 10-100μmthick depending on the diameter of the journal itself, the bearing is able to withstand large loads, both statically and dynamically, while having a very low rate of wear.
