Effect of Transverse Surface Roughness Patterns on the Performance of Short Bearings
Keywords:
Short bearing, Transverse roughness, Magnetic fluid, Reynold’s equation, Load carrying capacity.Abstract
An effort was made to evaluate the performance of short bearings using magnetic fluid as alubricant. Bearing surfaces are regarded as transversally rough. The roughness of thebearing surfaces is represented by a stochastic random variable with non-zero mean, variance, and skewness
