ANALYSIS OF HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION OF JOURNAL BEARINGS WITH OIL OF NON-NEWTONIAN PROPERTIES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2017, Vol 272, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, the presented issue concerns hydrodynamic lubrication of the journal bearings with the oil of non-Newtonian properties. For the analysis of the hydrodynamic lubrication, a constitutive model of the third order was assumed. The assumed model consist of a Newtonian part –pI+ηA1 and non-Newtonian part β3·tr(A1 2)A1. The main part of this paper concerns transformation, nondimensionalization, and an estimation of the order of magnitude of the equation, which describes the apparent viscosity. Apparent viscosity describes changes in the dynamic viscosity with shear rate. In this way, the prepared model of apparent viscosity is used in momentum equations. These equations are integrated in order to designate components of the velocity vector. By substitution of the proper boundary conditions, a modified Reynolds type equation is obtained. A further stage of the research will be proceeding of the numerical calculations of the hydrodynamic pressure distribution followed by the designation of the carrying capacity, friction force, and friction coefficient while taking changes of the viscosity from shear rate into account (apparent viscosity).
