Surface Roughness and Elastic Deformation Effects on the Behaviour of the Magnetic Fluid Based Squeeze Film Between Rotating Porous Circular Plates with Concentric Circular Pockets
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2010, Vol 32, Issue 2
Abstract
An attempt has been made to study and analyze the performance of a magnetic fluid based squeeze film between rotating porous transversely rough circular plates with concentric circular pockets. The porous housing is considered to be elastically negligibly deformable with its contact surface transversely rough. The stochastic film thickness characterizing the random roughness is assumed to be asymmetric with non zero mean and variance. The pressure distribution is obtained by solving the associated stochastically averaged Reynolds equation with appropriate boundary conditions. This results in the calculation of the load carrying capacity. All the results in graphical form establish that the transverse roughness in conjunction with the deformation has a strong negative effect on the performance of the bearing system. The bearing suffers on account of transverse surface roughness in general which probably is due to the fact that the roughness of the bearing surfaces tends to retard the motion of the lubricant resulting in decreased load carrying capacity. However, this negative effect of roughness, porosity and deformation can be minimized by the positive effect of the magnetization parameter in the case of negatively skewed roughness by choosing a suitable combination of pocket radius and rotational inertia. Lastly, the effect of radii ratio is noted to be quite significant.
