Generalized Reynolds Equation for Micropolar Lubricants and its Application to Optimum One-Dimensional Slider Bearings: Effects of Solid-Particle Additives in Solution
The effects of solid-particle additives in the lubricant are considered by characterizing this suspension as a micropolar fluid. The generalized Reynolds equation for this case has been derived and the optimum one-dimensional slider bearing is studied by using the techniques of the calculus of variations.
