Abstract
ABSTRACTThe present study was conducted to examine the effect of laser surface texturing combined with couple stress fluids on the hydrodynamic lubrication of finite journal bearing in this work. The Jakobsson-Floberg-Olsson (JFO) boundary conditions were engaged instead of Reynolds boundary conditions to achieve realistic results. Moreover, the results were computed and authenticated with the previous published work. It was observed that the load-carrying capacity is increased with couple stresses for smooth journal bearings at different eccentricity ratios. However, the increment in load-carrying capacity with texture affects only at low eccentricity ratios. The combined effects of texturing with couple stress fluids lower the performance of journal bearings at different eccentricity ratios.
