Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Compliant Journal Bearings

Quickstrikes This paper investigates the dynamic response of the compliant tilting pad journal bearings subjected to synchronous excitation.Bearing compliance is affected by the properties of pad liner and pad support geometry.Different unbalance eccentricities are considered.It is shown that bearing dynamic response is non-linear.Journal orbit com

Detections of Whale Vocalizations by Simultaneously Deployed Bottom-Moored and Deep-Water Mobile Autonomous Hydrophones

Advances in mobile autonomous platforms for oceanographic sensing, including gliders and deep-water profiling floats, have provided new opportunities for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of cetaceans.However, there are few direct comparisons of these mobile autonomous systems to more traditional methods, such as stationary bottom-moored recorders.
