ANALYSIS OF HYDRODYNAMIC EFFECTS OF MICROASPERITY SHAPES ON THRUST BEARING SURFACES

The present thesis is a comparative study of the hydrodynamic effects of a few deterministic microasperity shapes in a thrust slider application. Numerical study based on finite difference methods is used to find the trend of important tribological properties such as friction and leakage. Als...
