Magnetic Fluid-Based Squeeze Film Performance in Rotating Curved Porous Circular Plates: The Effect of Deformation and Surface Roughness
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2012, Vol 34, Issue 2
Abstract
This investigation aims at analyzing the behaviour of a magnetic fluid based squeeze film between two rotating transversely rough porous circular plates taking bearing deformation into consideration. The results presented in graphical form inform that the transverse surface roughness introduces an adverse effect on the performance characteristics while the magnetic fluid lubricant turn in an improved performance. It is found that the combined effect of rotation and deformation causes significantly reduced load carrying capacity. However, this investigation establishes that the adverse effect of porosity, deformation and standard deviation can be compensated up to some extent by the positive effect of magnetic fluid lubricant in the case of negatively skewed roughness by choosing curvature parameters. To compensate, the rotational inertia needs to have smaller values.
