Abstract
Prior researchers find that: Where one of two horizontal parallel plates immersed in a fluid is forced to oscillate up and down, a load may be carried, providing the fluid is compressible. Application of Reynolds equation to such a squeeze film bearing supports the condition of compressibility. However, analysis of the squeeze film bearing, including inertia terms in the Navier-Stokes equations, removes the restriction on compressibility. Theoretical design of a hydraulic squeeze bearing driven sinusoidally shows that load capacity is improved over a similar gas squeeze bearing under usual design conditions, provided cavitation is prevented. Two cases are considered of a fixed and a free bearing. Torque, work input, and the effects of centrifugal force are analysed.Keywords
