Abstract: Mixed lubrication characteristics of hydrostatic thrust bearings are examined experimentally. The effects of the surface roughness, supply pressure, loads, speed of rotation and size of restrictors ...

Abstract: A mixed lubrication model applicable to the bearing/seal parts is presented which enables forecasts of both friction and flow rate. The model is based on the combination of the Greenwood-Williamson ...

Abstract: On mixed and fluid film lubrication the characteristics of hydrostatic bearings for hydraulic equipment are studied numerically. By applying a mixed lubrication model derived in a previous paper ...
