Transition from Boundary Lubrication to Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Slider Bearings
The transition from boundary lubrication to fully hydrodynamic lubrication is investigated for air-lubricated slider bearings using the electrical resistance method. Intermittent contacts are shown to exist even under conditions for which the numerical solution of the Reynolds equation or white light interferometry predicts steady state spacings in the spacing region from 0.125 to 0.25 pm. The ...
متن کاملNon-Newtonian Effects of Second-Order Fluids on the Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Inclined Slider Bearings
Theoretical study of non-Newtonian effects of second-order fluids on the performance characteristics of inclined slider bearings is presented. An approximate method is used for the solution of the highly nonlinear momentum equations for the second-order fluids. The closed form expressions for the fluid film pressure, load carrying capacity, frictional force, coefficient of friction, and centre ...
متن کاملDevelopment of hydrodynamic micro-bearings
This paper describes the modelling and testing of mm-scale hydrodynamic bearings which are being developed to improve the efficiency of a cm-scale turbine energy harvester, whose efficiency was previously limited by poorly lubricated commercial jewel-bearings. The bearings were fabricated using DRIE and their performance was assessed using a custom built MEMS tribometer. Results demonstrate tha...
متن کاملFlow through the Grooves of Journal Bearings
A simple analysis of fully-developed Stokes ow in grooved bearings is performed that does not use lubrication scaling arguments as in Muijderman (1966). When the inertial terms are ignored, the Navier{Stokes equations decouple. The ow through the groove is then determined from a Poisson equation for the only component of velocity that contributes to the ow through the bearing. This velocity is ...
متن کاملThe accuracy of the compressible Reynolds equation for predicting the local pressure in gas-lubricated textured parallel slider bearings.
The validity of the compressible Reynolds equation to predict the local pressure in a gas-lubricated, textured parallel slider bearing is investigated. The local bearing pressure is numerically simulated using the Reynolds equation and the Navier-Stokes equations for different texture geometries and operating conditions. The respective results are compared and the simplifying assumptions inhere...
