Bearings
The ARMD software package has
the capabilities of evaluating
both fluid-film and rolling-element
bearings. Practically any bearing
or bearing system available in
industry can be analyzed with
one of the bearing solution
modules.
The FLUID-FILM bearing
modules (JURNBR, HYBCBR,
TILTBR, and THRSBR) solve
the lubrication problem in two
dimensions eliminating any
approximation typically
associated with one
dimensional analysis or
with look-up table methods.
Complete performance
predictions of hydrodynamic,
hydrostatic, and hybrid
lubricated journal, conical and
thrust bearings operating in the
laminar and/or turbulent regime
can be generated.

Rolling-Element Bearings
The ROLLING-ELEMENT bearing module
[COBRA] predicts the performance of up to six
bearings of different types mounted on a shaft
and experiencing radial, thrust and moment
loading. Bearing types include:
Pressure Distribution
@ 15000 RPM.

Wear-Rings tool
ArmdWear is an ARMD utility
for computing wear-ring/seal
performance properties
including dynamic coefficients
(stiffness and damping) of
incompressible fluids such as
those found in boiler feed
pumps.
The computation is based on
Black and Jenssen "Effect of
High Pressure Ring Seals on
Pump Rotor Vibrations". The
simulation in ArmdWear can be
performed for a single point of
operation or as a function of
operating parameters such as
Diameter, Length, Clearance,
Pressure Drop, Speed, Fluid
Viscosity or Density.
