Combined effects of surface roughness and couple stresses on static and dynamic behaviour of squeeze film lubrication of porous journal bearings

Abstract

The combined effects of surface roughness and the couple stresses on the static and dynamic characteristics of squeeze film lubrication in porous journal bearings with no journal rotation are theoretically studied. The Stokes couple stress fluid model is considered to model the lubricants with additives. The surface roughness on the porous journal bearing is mathematically modelled by a random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. The generalised stochastic Reynolds type equation is derived for the problem under consideration. The applied load is considered as a sinusoidal function of time to simulate the bearings operating under cyclic loads. The closed form expressions for the bearing characteristics are obtained for the short porous journal bearings. It is observed that the negatively skewed surface roughness and couple stresses improve the performance of the porous journal bearings as compared to the smooth journal bearings with Newtonian lubricants. However, the presence of positively skewed surface roughness on the bearing surface affects its performance.
