The most basic hydrodynamic bearing is the journal bearing. It has a cylindrical bore, typically with two axial grooves for lubrication. This bearing has a high load capacity and the simple design is ...

In recognition of his outstanding achievements in the fields of hydrodynamic, elastohydrodynamic and mixed-film lubrication. Born on 15 November 1929 in Shanghai, China, Herbert S Cheng came to the ...

There are four lubrication regimes, also referred to as modes of lubrications, defined by the thickness of the fluid film as follows: Hydrodynamic lubrication regimes exist when the fluid film ...

elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication; boundary lubrication mechanisms; dry and marginally lubricated bearing design; the design of rolling contacts and bearings.
