AbstractThe influence of concentration of solute particles on squeeze film lubrication between two poroelastic surfaces has been analyzed using a mathematical model. Newtonian viscous fluid is considered as a lubricant whose viscosity varies linearly with concentration of suspended solute particles. Convection-diffusion model is proposed to study the concentration of solute particles and is solved using finite difference method of Crank–Nicolson scheme. An iterative procedure is used to get the solution for concentration, pressure and velocity components in film region. It has been observed that load carrying capacity decreases as the concentration of solute particles in the fluid film decreases. Further, the concentration of suspended solute particles decreases as the permeability of the poroelastic plate increases and these results may be useful in understanding the mechanism of human joint.

The aim of this paper is to presents a theoretical analysis on squeeze-film characteristics of a rough porous circular stepped plate in the vicinity of pressure-dependent viscosity and lubrication by micropolar fluids. A closed-form expression for non-dimensional pressure, load, and squeezing time is derived based on Eringen’s theory, Darcy’s equation, and Christensen’s stochastic approach. Results indicate that the effects of pressure-dependent viscosity, surface roughness, and micropolar fluids play an important role in increasing the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time, whereas the presence of porous media decreases the load-carrying capacity and squeezing time of the rough porous circular stepped plates.

Film Lubrication

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the squeeze film lubrication properties of hexagonal patterned surface inspired by the epidermis structure of tree frog’s toe pad and numerically explore the working mechanism of hexagonal micropillar during the acquisition process of high adhesive and friction for wet contacts. Design/methodology/approach A two-dimensional elastohydrodynamic numerical model is employed for the squeezing contacts. The pressure distribution, load carrying capacity and liquid flow rate of the squeeze film are obtained through a simultaneous solution of the two-dimensional Reynolds equation and elasticity deformation equations. Findings Higher pressure is found to be longitudinally distributed across individual hexagonal pillar, with pressure peak emerging at the center of hexagonal pillar. Expanding the area density and shrinking the channel depth or initial film thickness will improve the magnitude of squeezing pressure. Relatively lower pressure is generated inside interconnected channels, which reduces the load carrying capacity of the squeeze film. Meanwhile, the introduction of microchannel is revealed to downscale the total mass flow rate of squeezing contacts. Originality/value This paper provides a good proof for the working mechanism of surface microstructures during the acquisition process of high adhesive and friction for wet contacts.

The fluid flow processes in a squeeze film having one porous bounding wall are analyzed. The analysis takes account of velocity slip at the surface of the porous medium as well as of the coupled flows in the squeeze film and the porous material. Results are presented for the load-carrying capacity of the squeeze film and its thickness–time relation. The results show that porous media are effective in diminishing the response times of squeeze films. In particular, substantially faster response can be attained by the use of porous materials which accentuate velocity slip.

An analysis is presented for the laminar squeeze flow of an incompressible powerlaw fluid between parallel plane annuli using the modified lubrication theory and energy integral method. The local and the convective inertia of the flow are considered in the investigation. Analytical expressions for the load carrying capacity of the squeeze film are obtained using both the methods and are compared with those based on the assumption of inertialess flow. It is observed that the inertia correction in the load carrying capacity is more significant for pseudo-plastic fluids, n<1.[S0742-4787(00)00504-X]

Based on ferrohydrodynamic theory by R. E. Rosensweig and continuity equation for film as well as upper and lower porous regions, a general modified Reynolds equation for ferrofluid (FF) lubricated circular discs porous squeeze film-bearings is derived by assuming the validity of the Darcy’s law in the porous regions. The effects of porosity, slip velocity, anisotropic permeability and rotation at both the discs are also included for the study. Here, the FF is controlled by oblique and radially variable magnetic field. The effect of porosity is included because of its advantageous property of self-lubrication, and oblique variable magnetic field is important because of its advantage of generating maximum field at the required active contact zone of the bearing design systems. Using Reynolds equation, different circular porous squeeze film-bearing design systems (e.g. exponential, secant and parallel (flat)) are studied and compared for load-carrying capacity. During the course of investigation, it is observed that uniform magnetic field does not affect on the performances of the bearing systems.

Computer simulations of a number of journal bearing’s geometries utilising acoustic levitation were carried out. The choice of the best geometry depended on the ability of a deformed shape, created by piezo-electric elements, to facilitate squeeze film ultrasonic levitation, and also to create three evenly distributed diverging aerodynamic gaps. Deformations of analysed variants of the bearing’s shape were generated by numerical simulations utilising the finite element method. For the chosen shapes of geometry, prototype bearings were made and their usefulness verified experimentally. As a result, the bearing with the highest load carrying capacity was identified.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study and analyse the behaviour of a magnetic fluid-based squeeze film between rotating transversely rough porous annular plates, taking the elastic deformation into consideration. Design/methodology/approach – The stochastic film thickness characterizing the roughness is considered to be asymmetric with non-zero mean and variance and skewness while a magnetic fluid is taken as the lubricant. The associated stochastically averaged Reynolds-type equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution, which in turn is used to derive the expression for the load-carrying capacity. Findings – It is observed that the roughness of the bearing surfaces affects the performance adversely, although the bearing registers an improved performance owing to the magnetic fluid lubricant. Also, it is seen that the deformation causes reduced load-carrying capacity. The bearing can support a load even in the absence of flow, unlike the case of conventional lubricants. Originality/value – The originality of the paper lies in the fact that the negative effect of porosity, deformation and standard deviation can be minimized to some extent by the positive effect of the magnetic fluid lubricant in the case of negatively skewed roughness by suitably choosing the rotational inertia and aspect ratio. This effect becomes sharper when negative variance occurs.

A theoretical investigation of the laminar squeeze flow of a couple-stress fluid between a flat circular static disk and an axisymmetric curved circular moving disk has been carried out using modified lubrication theory and microcontinuum theory. The combined effects of fluid inertia forces, curvature of the disk and non-Newtonian couple stresses on the squeeze film behavior are investigated analytically. Each of these effects and their combinations show a significant enhancement in the squeeze film behavior, and these are studied through their effects on the squeeze film pressure and the load carrying capacity of the fluid film as a function of time. Two different forms of the gapwidth between the disks have been considered, and the results have been shown to be in good agreement with the existing literature.
