Lubrication of Isotropic Permeable Porous Inclined Slider Bearing with Slip Velocity and Squeeze Velocity

This paper theoretically discusses about the inclined slider bearing with porous layer ( plates or matrix ) attached to slider as well as stator including effects of slip velocity, and squeeze velocity. General Reynolds’s equation which is useful for calculating load capacity is obtained. The load capacity is calculated for isotropic case for various porosities of the above and below porous matrix. Various sizes of the porous matrix at both the ends are also discussed for the possible optimization of bearing performance. From the results we conclude that better load capacity is obtained when the thicknesses of both the porous plates are small and porosity is less. It can also be concluded from results that for smaller thickness of the porous layer and lesser porosity the load capacity increased 1.5 %.
