Abstract
The present work deals with the problem of determining the influence of the inertial terms solving the inverse problem in the case of a plane slider bearing. The method determines the film geometry under a given pressure distribution when inertial terms are taken into account. The Volterra integral equation — which gives the velocity distribution in every section — was solved in a strictly numerical way. Our results showed that inertial terms determine an increase of the load capacity and a decrease of the flow rate. The friction coefficient proved scarcely influenced by inertial effects. The present method enables us to obtain the results of the linear theory as an asymptotic solution.
