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...

Velocity measurements in the vicinity of the exit and inlet of a spiral bevel gear shroud (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Simmons, K., & Johnson, G. (2015). Velocity measurements in the vicinity of the exit and inlet of a spiral bevel gear shroud. In Volume 5C: Heat Transfer. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2015-43549

In many aeroengines the accessory power offtake is achieved using a spiral bevel gear set running off one of the main shafts. The crown and bevel gears are housed in an internal gearbox. Over the past few years the Nottingham University Technology Ce... Read More about Velocity measurements in the vicinity of the exit and inlet of a spiral bevel gear shroud.
