Abstract: The importance of rheological properties of lubricants has arisen from the realization that non-Newtonian fluid effects are manifested over a broad range of lubrication applications. In this paper ...

Abstract: The lubrication of a conventional, finite width plane bearing, using a power-law, non-Newtonian lubricant, is studied. The basic assumptions in this analysis are: thin fluid-film, no thermal ...

Abstract: Questions concerning the functional role of spanwise wing corrugation in living systems are experimentally investigated. Attention was initially directed to this problem by observation of the ...

Abstract: The influence of fluid inertia on a plane slider bearing that operates at a 0(1) modified Reynolds number is examined in this study. The flow is laminar, and the Reynolds number—based on the ...

Abstract: Cavitation boundary shapes for submerged short journal bearings are investigated in this study. In this analysis, the Reynolds lubrication equation is approximated by using the bearing slenderness ...

Abstract: The problem of compliant surface journal bearings with large slenderness ratio (length/diameter → ∞) is analyzed for the case of small journal eccentricities. In this model an elastic circular ...

Abstract: The accuracy of the short bearing approximation is analyzed in this discussion. The results apply to Newtonian lubricants, and they can also be extended to non-Newtonian power-law lubricants. ...

Abstract: This paper studies the rapid simple shearing flow of dry cohesionless metal powders contained between parallel rotating plates. In this study, an annular shear cell test apparatus was used; the ...

Abstract: An analysis for hydrodynamic, non-Newtonian lubrication of misaligned journal bearings is given. The hydrodynamic load-carrying capacity for partial arc journal bearings lubricated by power-law, ...
