Differential Quadrature Method for the Analysis of Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings
Authors
Abstract:
This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results with the results of analytical solutions, FEM and FDM results from the published literature. It's seen from the results that GDQ method can easily compete with the existing methods of solution of lubrication problems in respect to its analytical simplicity, smaller computer storage requirements and capability of producing accurate results with very high computational efficiency.

full textVibration of cracked plate using differential quadrature method and experimental modal analysis
In this study, the vibration of cracked plates is investigated using the differential quadrature method and experimental modal analysis. The crack, which is assumed to be open, is modeled by the extended rotational spring. With its finite length, the crack divides the plate into six segments. Then, the differential quadrature is applied to the governing differential equations of motion and the ...
