Detailed description
of topics:
Due to special requirements of a design of
fluid or gas lubricated bearings, standard design formulae and graphs may not
apply. In this case numerical
techniques (finite element method) can be applied to solve the pressure
distribution in the full-film, described by the Reynolds equation. From the
pressure distribution the load-carrying capability, bearing stiffness and
fluid flow can be derived.
In this course the basic solution
of the (in)compressible Reynolds equation is to be solved using the finite
element package SEPRAN. Secondly design chards for a specific bearing
configuration have to be constructed. |
