A boundary element method (BEM) for the solution of lubrication problems on finite bearings is presented. The formulation requires the Reynolds equation to be transformed into a constant coefficient equation. Several film shapes that make the transformation possible are systematically obtained. Noticeably, they cover most practical cases. As an example of application, a numerical solution that only requires the discretization of the boundary is presented for a finite pad bearing.

Abstract
A boundary element method (BEM) for the solution of lubrication problems on finite bearings is presented. The formulation requires the Reynolds equation to be transformed into a constant coefficient equation. Several film shapes that make the transformation possible are systematically obtained. Noticeably, they cover most practical cases. As an example of application, a numerical solution that only requires the discretization of the boundary is presented for a finite pad bearing.File in questo prodotto:
