Mathematical Modelling of Slider Bearing of Various Shapes with Combined Effects of Porosity at Both the Ends, Anisotropic Permeability, Slip Velocity, and Squeeze VelocityDOI: 10.5923/j.ajcam.20120203.05 Keywords: Porosity, Inclined Bearing, Anisotropic Permeability, Slip Velocity Abstract: This paper discusses about the slider bearing of various shapes stator pad surfaces (e.g. inclined plane, exponential, secant, convex, and parallel) including combined effects of porosity at both the ends, anisotropic permeability, slip velocity, and squeeze velocity. Expression for load capacity is obtained in general and discussed for various cases of stator pad surface to explore its possible effects on the above system for different permeabilities at both the ends. Various sizes of the porous matrix at both the ends are also discussed for the possible optimization of bearing performance. From the study we conclude that better load capacity is obtained when the thickness of both the porous plates are small, and also when both the porous plates are of same size rather than different size.
