An Analytical Approach for Analysis of Slider Bearings with Non-Newtonian Lubricants

In this study, a regular perturbation technique is utilized to derive the modified Reynolds equation which is applicable to power-law lubricant. The performance of slider bearings including pressure distributions, velocity distributions, film thickness, load capacity, flow rate, shear force, and fri...
