This paper is concerned with the motion of a fluid film squeezed between two rotating parallel plane surfaces. Attention is given to the case of impulsive squeezing and impulsive rotation. Approximate analytic solutions are obtained and a numerical solution to the full nonlinear equations of motion is presented. The results show that the centrifugal inertial forces increase the radial outflow and reduce considerably the load capacity while the noncentrifugal inertial forces increase the torque.

We study the motion which results when a fluid film is squeezed between two parallel plane surfaces in relative motion. Particular attention is given to the special case where one surface is fixed and the other is rapidly accelerated from a state of rest to a state of uniform motion. The analysis is based in part on linear theory and in substance on a finite-difference analysis of the full nonlinear equations of motion.

The free motion of an undamped pendulum-type vibration absorber is studied on the basis of approximate nonlinear equations of motion. It is shown that this type of mechanical system exhibits the phenomenon of auto parametric excitation; a type of “instability” which cannot be accounted for on the basis of the linearized system. Complete energy transfer between modes is shown to occur when the beam frequency is twice the simple pendulum frequency. On the basis of a numerical solution, approximately 150 cycles of the beam oscillation take place during a single cycle of energy interchange.
