This paper deals with a theoretical analysis on the effect of viscosity variation on a ferrofluid based long bearing. The model of Tipei considering viscosity variation is deployed here. The magnetic fluid flow is governed by Neuringer-Rosensweig model. The pressure distribution is obtained after solving the associated Reynolds type equation, which gives the load carrying capacity. The computed results indicate that the increased load carrying capacity owing to magnetization gets negligible help from the effect of viscosity variation.

Efforts have been made to present a comparison of all the three magnetic fluid flow models (Neuringer-Rosensweig model, Shliomis model, and Jenkins model) so far as the performance of a magnetic fluid based parallel plate rough slider bearing is concerned. The stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder is adopted for the evaluation of effect of transverse surface roughness. The stochastically averaged Reynolds-type equation is solved with suitable boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution resulting in the calculation of load carrying capacity. The graphical results establish that for a bearing’s long life period the Shliomis model may be employed for higher loads. However, for lower to moderate loads, the Neuringer-Rosensweig model may be deployed.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study and analyse the behaviour of a magnetic fluid-based squeeze film between rotating transversely rough porous annular plates, taking the elastic deformation into consideration. Design/methodology/approach – The stochastic film thickness characterizing the roughness is considered to be asymmetric with non-zero mean and variance and skewness while a magnetic fluid is taken as the lubricant. The associated stochastically averaged Reynolds-type equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution, which in turn is used to derive the expression for the load-carrying capacity. Findings – It is observed that the roughness of the bearing surfaces affects the performance adversely, although the bearing registers an improved performance owing to the magnetic fluid lubricant. Also, it is seen that the deformation causes reduced load-carrying capacity. The bearing can support a load even in the absence of flow, unlike the case of conventional lubricants. Originality/value – The originality of the paper lies in the fact that the negative effect of porosity, deformation and standard deviation can be minimized to some extent by the positive effect of the magnetic fluid lubricant in the case of negatively skewed roughness by suitably choosing the rotational inertia and aspect ratio. This effect becomes sharper when negative variance occurs.

The paper shows the combined effects of couple stress fluids and lubricant viscosity variation with pressure in squeeze film performance of parallel triangular plates. By solving Reynolds equation and using perturbation method, the pressure distribution is obtained with consideration of viscosity variation with pressure. Also, with integrating pressure in the film region, load-carrying capacity is derived. A fourth-order Rang–Kutta is used to solve the nonlinear differential equation between lubricant film thickness and time. Various cases of couple stress, iso-viscous and piezo-viscous contributions are analyzed. According to the results, it is found that using couple stress fluid as a lubricant and considering viscosity–pressure dependency will increase characteristics of the squeeze film such as load-carrying capacity, pressure distribution, and triangular plates moving time, significantly as compared to the classical Newtonian iso-viscous lubricant.

The effect of surface roughness on characteristics of magnetic fluid based squeeze film between porous circular plates is hypothetically analysed. The pressure distribution is obtained by solving concern Reynolds type equation with suitable boundary conditions and the result is utilized to obtain load carrying capacity. It is concluded that the load carrying capacity increases with increasing magnetization, while load carrying capacity decreases due to the standard deviation. It is observed that the negatively skewed roughness and negative mean increase the load carrying capacity. It is also observed that the magnetic fluid lubricant improves the performance of a bearing system, thereby, suggesting that the performance of the bearing with magnetic fluid lubricant is better than the conventional lubricant.

In the theoretical analysis of porous bearings the journal has so far been assumed to be ideal, that is perfectly cylindrical. In the present analysis the geometric irregularities of the journal, such as circumferential undulations and barrel/bellmouth shapes, are taken into account. The permeability variation along the length of the bearing as found in commercial bearings has also been taken into account. The present analysis reveals that, at the critical Sommerfeld number, the friction is very low compared to the very high value for an ideal journal. The present analysis also reveals that the friction and the attitude angle are lower for any Sommerfeld number and that the load-carrying capacity is lower for any eccentricity ratio than that for an ideal journal.

This paper presents the theoretical study and analyzes the comparison of porous structures on the performance of a couple stress fluid based on rough slider bearing. The globular sphere model of Kozeny-Carman and Irmay’s capillary fissures model have been subjected to investigations. A more general form of surface roughness is mathematically modeled by a stochastic random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. The stochastically averaged Reynolds type equation has been solved under suitable boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution in turn which gives the expression for the load carrying capacity, frictional force and coefficient of friction. The results are illustrated by graphical representations which show that the introduction of combined porous structure with couple stress fluid results in an enhanced load carrying capacity more in the case of Kozeny-Carman model as compared to Irmay’s model.

The presented paper deals with the stochastic analysis of the ultimate limit states of steel‐concrete building members. The load carrying capacity of steel‐concrete columns, comprising of steel profiles encased in high strength concrete, in compression is analyzed. The first part of the paper lists assumptions for the determination of the theoretical load carrying capacity of the column. Principles of elasticity and plasticity are used to determine stresses in the concrete and steel sections. Statistical characteristics of input material and geometrical imperfections are listed. Results of the theoretical analysis are then compared with results of experimental research. Statistical characteristics of obtained results of the theoretical analysis were verified using statistical characteristics obtained from experimental research. Numerical simulation LHS and Monte Carlo methods, which take into account the influences of variability of input imperfections, were employed. The influence of the utilization of the plastic reserve in the determination of the load carrying capacity of the analysed strut is shown. The influence of the initial geometric imperfections of initial strut curvature on the load carrying capacity is also presented.

The only exact solution for the infinitely long, gas-lubricated slider bearing is the one obtained by Harrison [1] for the plane wedge isothermal film. The resultant formulas for the pressure distribution and load-carrying capacity are complicated and therefore quite cumbersome in numerical design calculations. In the analysis to follow, a simplified, approximate solution is developed which can be applied to any infinitely long slider geometry.

This paper aims at analyzing the effect of velocity slip on the behavior of a magnetic fluid based infinitely short hydrodynamic slider bearing. Solving the Reynolds’ equation, the expression for pressure distribution is obtained. In turn, this leads to the calculation of the load carrying capacity. Further, the friction is also computed. It is observed that the magnetization paves the way for an overall improved performance of the bearing system. However the magnetic fluid lubricant fails to alter the friction. It is established that the slip parameter needs to be kept at minimum to achieve better performance of the bearing system, although the effect of the slip parameter on the load carrying capacity is in most situations, negligible. It is found that for large values of the aspect ratio, the effect of slip is increasingly significant. Of course, the aspect ratio plays a crucial role in this improved performance. Lastly, it is established that the bearing can support a load even in the absence of flow, which does not happen in the case of a conventional lubricant.
