Predictive Estimation of Sliding Bearing Load-Carrying Capacity and Tribological Durability

A computational method is presented as a for solving plane contact problem of the theory elasticity to determine strength and tribological durability sliding bearings. The effect load radial clearance on initial pressures their reduction due wear studied. bearing estimated. Qualitative quantitative regularities changes in parameters from factors under study are established. In particular, it has been shown that both angles maximum approximately linearly dependent load, decreases nonlinearly with increasing load.
