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 Femlab v3.0. Secondly
design chards for a specific bearing configuration have to be
constructed. | ||
