Pressure Distribution in a Slider Bearing Lubricated with Second and Third Grade Fluids

Department of Mechanical Education, Technical Education Faculty, Afyon Kocatepe University, TR-03200, Afyon, Turkey

Abstract

A Slider bearing with second and third grade fluids as lubricant is analysed in the present study. The analysis is based on perturbation technique. Choosing second and third grade effects to be smaller than the viscous effects, a perturbation solution is constructed. Under the thin film assumption, inertia terms are negligible compared to the viscous, second and third grade terms. The pressure distributions in the bearing are calculated approximately.
