Measurement of circumferential viscosity profile in stationary journal bearing by shear ultrasonic reflection

Viscosity is the most important property of a lubricant that can affect bearing performance. It controls the film thickness that is established during an operation. In this study, the ultrasonic method was used to measure the static viscosity profile around a journal bearing by using shear reflectio...
