Abstract: The hydrodynamic characteristics of a cylinder-plane bearing in normal motion is investigated by using the Reynolds equation in conjunction with the Coyne-Elrod rupture model. It is seen that ...

Abstract: The modified Reynolds equation in conjunction with the modified Coyne-Elrod rupture model is used to investigate the inertia effect on the pressure distribution in converging-diverging bearings. ...

Abstract: The load capacity, attitude angle, and lubricant flow rate are computed using a modified Reynolds equation combined with the modified Coyne-Elrod boundary conditions. It was found that the ...
