Partial Slip Texture Slider and Journal Bearing Lubricated With Newtonian Fluids: A Review

Abstract

Partial slip texture surfaces have proven to be effective to improve load capacity and reduce coefficient of friction in slider and journal bearings. By controlling the partial slip surface texture properties, bearing with desired performance can be designed. It is of consequent interest to study the lubrication of slider and journal bearing systems taking into consideration design of partial slip texture surfaces. This paper aims at covering several investigation works related to slider and journal bearing lubricated with Newtonian fluids focusing on partial slip texture influence on bearing performance characteristics.
