Abstract

The Reynolds equation in hydrodynamic lubrication theory, modified to take into account nonsteady-state effects, is applied to the problem of the tilting-pad slider bearing subject to a sinusoidal pivot oscillation in the direction normal to the bearing surface. Relationships are developed giving the load-supporting capacity and coefficient of friction as functions of the amplitude and frequency of the oscillation.
