Abstract

We have seen in chapter 10 that hydrodynamic or self-acting bearings only operate effectively if the two following features exist in their construction:

  1. (a)

    a film thickness which varies in a preferred manner;

  2. (b)

    relative tangential movement between the members of the bearing.
