Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearings with slip velocity

Abstract

A theoretical model of a magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity has been considered to see the effect of various parameters. The expression of load capacity and centre of pressure has been obtained in terms of slip and permeability parameters. The dependence of load and centre of pressure on magnetic parameter, permeability parameter, and slip parameter has been studied graphically. Minimization of the slip parameter and permeability parameter has been discussed for the possible increase in the load capacity.
