SQUEEZE FILM LUBRICATION OF ASYMMETRIC ROLLERS BY BINGHAM PLASTIC FLUID

Rheodynamic Lubrication of a Rectangular Squeeze Film Bearing with an Exponential Curvature Variation using Bingham Lubricants

The present work deals with analyses of the effects of bearing curvature and non-Newtonian characteristics on the load capacity of an exponential rectangular squeeze film bearing using Bingham fluids as lubricants. Bingham fluids are characterized by an yield value and hence the formation of a “rigid” core in the region between the plates is justified. The flow is confined to the region between...

Shliomis model based magnetic fluid lubrication of a squeeze film in rotating rough curved circular plates

Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous pivoted slider bearing with slip and squeeze velocity

In this paper the problem on “Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by N Ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using Jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. It is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (Refer equation(2.2)). This paper re...

Boundary lubrication: dynamics of squeeze-out.

The dynamics of the expulsion of the last liquid monolayer of molecules confined between two surfaces (measured recently for the first time) has been analyzed by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Instabilities in the boundary line of the expelled film were observed. We show that the instabilities produce a rough boundary for all le...

Magnetic fluid based squeeze film between porous elliptical plates

Archibald [1] analyzed the performance of a squeeze film between various geometrical configurations. Later on Wu [2, 3] investigated a squeeze film behavior for mainly, two types of geometries namely, annular and rectangular. Prakash and Viz [4] developed some aspects of the analysis incorporated in Wu [2, 3] and obtained the load carrying capacity ultimately leading to time height relation for...
