Abstract

Ferrohydrodynamic lubrication, in the presence of a transversely applied magnetic field, of circular plates and conical bearings is analysed. In contrast to earlier analyses this study relaxes the assumption of the magnetization vector being parallel to the magnetic field. Besides, the rotation of magnetic particles is also accounted for. Expressions for various bearing characteristics are obtained using a perturbation scheme in terms of dimensionless Brownian time relaxation parameter. It is observed that the effect of applied magnetic field as well as Brownian relaxation time parameter is negligible on load capacity.
