With the demand for turbomachinery to operate at higher speeds, loads, and power, fluid film bearings that support turbomachinery must be capable of operating in these more demanding applications. Thrust bearings operating at high speeds and loads can experience high surface temperatures and thin fluid film thickness. Typically, babbitt (white metal) is the bearing lining material for most turb...

Introduction Both Edmund Burke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau can be grouped among the key thinkers of the eighteenth century. They are widely understood to be quite different from one another, and their outlooks—especially their political-philosophical views—are often contrasted by scholars. Among those who have profitably contrasted Burke with Rousseau is the early twentieth century literary schol...

Iron oxide and silica nanoparticles were individually incorporated in tin-based Babbitt alloy combined to prepare a novel class of nanocomposites for bearing material applications. The route liquid metallurgy combination with the stirring technique was adopted manufacture nanocomposites. Microstructural evolution mechanical property evaluation performed by optical electron microscopy, EDS, hard...

Abstract In the present study, a Babbitt-Ilmenite composite was developed via stir casting and mechanical properties (hardness tensile strength) of were optimized using Taguchi philosophy. The effects variations in percentage weight Ilmenite, stirring speed aging time on studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis confirmed presence Ilmenite metal matrix uniform dispersal Babbitt establish...

A multiple baseline across settings was used to evaluate the effects of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior, nonremoval of the fork (Hoch, Babbitt, Coe, Krell, & Hackbert, 1994), and stimulus fading on consumption of food rejected previously. The study was conducted in two separate settings, and caregivers were trained in the intervention technique to increase generalization to n...
