... be seen in Fig. 8 . Each node has its own value that must be estimated. Parameter estimation problems are a special case of the inverse problem, where the forcing functions are known, and the response is known to some degree (has been sampled by instrumentation), but some aspect of the system...

... wall profiles. In this paper we present a novel method of solving the inverse problem for air-bearing sliders in hard disk drives that works well for such new designs. We also present a new method for calculating the static air-bearing stiffness by solving three linear systems of equations...

... surfaces inverse problems rheology rolling bearings EHL roughness stresses inverse method The life of EHL components such as gears, cams, and rolling element bearings tends to be reduced as the surface roughness increases. The relationship is not simple and the early formula of Tallian...
