Shrinkage methods have traditionally been applied in prediction problems. In this article we develop a shrinkage method (mean subset) that forms an average of regression coefficients from individual subsets of the explanatory variables. A Bayesian approach is taken to derive an expression of how the coefficient vectors from each subset should be weighted. It is not computationally feasible to calculate the mean subset coefficient vector for larger problems, and thus we suggest an algorithm to find an approximation to the mean subset coefficient vector. In a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study, it is found that the proposed mean subset method has superior prediction performance than prediction based on the best subset method, and in some settings also better than the ridge regression and lasso methods. The conclusions drawn from the Monte Carlo study is corroborated in an example in which prediction is made using spectroscopic data.

Load capacity tests were conducted to determine how radial clearance variations affect the load capacity coefficient of foil air bearings. Two Generation III foil air bearings with the same design but possessing different initial radial clearances were tested at room temperature against an as-ground PS304 coated journal operating at 30000 rpm. Increases in radial clearance were accomplished by reducing the journal's outside diameter via an in-place grinding system. Front each load capacity test the bearing load capacity coefficient was calculated from the rule-of-thumb (ROT) model developed for foil air bearings.The test results indicate that, in terms of the load capacity coefficient, radial clearance has a direct impact on the performance of the foil air bearing. Each test bearing exhibited an optimum radial clearance that resulted in a maximum load capacity coefficient. Relative to this optimum value are two separate operating regimes that are governed by different modes of failure. Bearings operating with radial clearances less than the optimum exhibit load capacity coefficients that are a strong function of radial clearance and are prone to a thermal runaway failure mechanism and bearing seizure. Conversely, a bearing operating with a radial clearance m,ice the optimum suffered only a 20% decline in its maximum load capacity coefficient and did not experience any thermal management problems. However, it is unknown to what degree these changes in radial clearance had on other performance parameters, such (is the stiffness and damping properties of the bearings.

PS304 self-lubricating composite coatings were successfully deposited on steel substrates at various plasma spray facilities using mixtures blended from commercially obtained constituent particles. Coatings were evaluated in thrust-washer tests against Inconel X-750 at low contact pressures to 40kPa, sliding speed of 5.4m/s, and either ambient temperature or 500 degreesC chosen to simulate conditions in air foil bearings during startup and shutdown contact. Wear factors for all PS304 coatings tested, regardless of contact pressure and temperature, ranged from 1-3*10(-4) mm(3)/Nm while coefficients of friction of approximately mu = 0.5 were measured in all cases. While wear and friction behavior of PS304 in air foil bearings appear to have been simulated, surface roughening was observed in these thrust-washer tests which used continuous sliding contact, as opposed to the evolution of smoother surfaces observed in high-temperature foil bearings experiencing cyclic startup/shutdown. Wear-induced surface smoothening of PS304 was additionally simulated in thrust-washer tests with sliding contact instead imposed intermittently.
