Abstract

A semi-analytical solution is presented to obtain the pressure distribution, the load capacity, the frictional moment and the lubricant flow rate for a laminar flow, hydrostatic bearing with its axis offset from thee axis of the saw blade. The general equations are developed and solved for a variable film thickness due to plate vibrations. It was found that the load, friction and lubricant flow rate are strong functions of film thickness variations ϵ, bearing number λ and the bearing offset from the rotation axis L

    Closed form expressions for squeeze film load carrying capacity were derived after making approximations in Reynolds׳s equation. The available studies in literature clearly reveals that consideration of both lubricant behavior as well as tilt is very important to generate the realistic design data [7,26,30,31]. No study in the literature has yet been reported that demonstrates the behavior of thrust bearing operation with Rabinowitsch lubricant with tilt consideration.
