Experimental investigation of oil shedding from an aero-engine ball bearing at moderate speeds (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Santhosh, R., Hee, J. L., Simmons, K., Johnson, G., Hann, D., & Walsh, M. (2017). Experimental investigation of oil shedding from an aero-engine ball bearing at moderate speeds. In Proceedings of ASME Turbo Expo 2017 : Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2017-63815

In civil aero-engine transmission system bearings are used for shaft location and load support. An experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was designed and commissioned to investi...

Oil film thickness measurements on surfaces close to an aeroengine ball bearing using optical techniques (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Hee, J. L., Santhosh, R., Simmons, K., Johnson, G., Hann, D., & Walsh, M. (2017). Oil film thickness measurements on surfaces close to an aeroengine ball bearing using optical techniques. In Proceedings of ASME Turbo Expo 2017: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2017-63813

In a civil aero-engine transmission system a number of bearings are used for shaft location and load support. A bespoke experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was created to...

Application of high speed filming techniques to the study of rearwards melt ejection in laser drilling (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, C., Hann, D. B., Voisey, K., & Aitken, S. (in press). Application of high speed filming techniques to the study of rearwards melt ejection in laser drilling. Journal of Laser Applications, 29(2), Article 022204. https://doi.org/10.2351/1.4983269

Melt ejection is the dominant material removal mechanism in long, ms, pulse laser drilling of metals, a process with applications such as the drilling of cooling holes in turbine blades. Droplets of molten material are ejected through the entrance ho... Read More about Application of high speed filming techniques to the study of rearwards melt ejection in laser drilling.
