6. 5. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
   Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

   Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE
