Thermal and roughness effects in a slider bearing with special reference to load generation in parallel sliders

摘要

Computer simulation is made to analyze the combined effect of thermal and roughness on different characteristics of a tilted pad slider bearing. The roughness is assumed to be stochastic, Gaussian randomly distributed. Density and viscosity are assumed to be dependent of temperature. In this study two models of roughness, Longitudinal, one-dimensional roughness and Transverse, one-
