Abstract
The slider profile which gives the maximum load capacity for a slider bearing lubricated with a micropolar fluid is considered. The optimum profile is a step function with a riser location and a step height ratio that depend on the two basic dimensionless parameters of micropolar fluid dynamics. The results reduce to those of the classical Rayleigh problem when the coupling parameter tends to zero. The optimum load capacity increases with the coupling parameter.
