MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION OF RADIAL BEARINGS WITH LUBRICANTS HAVING VISCO-ELASTIC-PLASTIC PROPERTIES
The calculation model of hydrodynamic lubrication of radial bearings with lubricants having viscoelastic-plastic properties taking into account the dependence of viscosity on pressure is given in the article. Using non-linear Maxwell equations the influence of the plasticity parameter and the number of Deborah on the main characteristics of radial sliding bearing was investigated.
