Abstract: For the analysis of gas lubricated bearings, Reynolds equation is available in a number of forms—the original version, first-order modified, second-order modified, one-and-a-half order modified, ...

Abstract: The various existing forms of Reynolds equation are known to yield pressure fields which are unbounded and nonphysical when contact occurs. With a view to developing a Reynolds equation that ...

Abstract: In order to check the numerical analysis of Reynolds equation for gas lubricated bearings, it is desirable to have available exact analytical solutions. This note outlines the construction of ...
