Effect of Surface Topography and Structural Parameters on the Lubrication Performance of a Water-Lubricated Bearing: Theoretical and Experimental Study
Source abstract
Abstract
This study explored the influence of the surface topography of a bushing on the lubrication performance of a water-lubricated bearing. Bushing deformations were considered in the mathematical model. Theoretical calculations and experiments were performed. The test data corresponded well with the simulation. The main stiffness and cross stiffness coefficients were measured and compared with the theoretical values, and the empirical formula of friction coefficient was fitted based on the test data.
