Design of robust PTFE faced bearings for performance and reliability in large rotating machinery
In this thesis a Finite Element Modelling (FEM) approach is proposed for modelling the visco-plastic creep effects that a PTFE-faced thrust bearing would undergo during normal operating conditions. A thermal elastic hydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) model is developed, which uses the Reynolds equation...
