    Squeezing of Bingham Fluid Between Two Plane Annuli
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2018) Singeetham, S.; Vishwanath, K.P.
    In this study, the presence of Bingham fluid between two parallel plane annuli with constant squeeze motion is theoretically analyzed. The effect of radius of separation on core thickness, pressure distribution, and squeeze force for different values of Bingham number has been investigated. By considering equilibrium of an element of the core in the fluid, thickness of the rigid plug core has been calculated numerically. The properties of the squeeze film are investigated through the non-Newtonian effects on the squeeze force of the plane for various annular spaces. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2018.

    Rheodynamic lubrication of a squeeze film bearing under sinusoidal squeeze motion
    (Springer Science and Business Media, LLC, 2007) Kandasamy, A.; Vishwanath, K.P.
    Lubricants with variable viscosity are assuming importance for their applications in polymer industry, thermal reactors and in biomechanics. With the bearing operations in machines being subjected to high speeds, loads, increasing mechanical shearing forces and continually increasing pressures, there has been an increasing interest to use non-Newtonian fluids characterized by an yield value. The most elementary constitutive equation in common use that describes a material which yields is that of Bingham fluid. In the present work, the problem of a circular squeeze film bearing lubricated with Bingham fluid under the sinusoidal squeeze motion has been analyzed. The shape and extent of the core for the case of sinusoidal squeeze motion has been determined numerically for various values of the Bingham number. Numerical solutions have been obtained for the bearing performances such as pressure distribution and load capacity for different values of Bingham number, Reynolds number and for various amplitudes of squeeze motion. The effects of fluid inertia, non-Newtonian characteristics, and the amplitudes of squeeze motion on the bearing performances have been discussed. Copyright © 2007 SBMAC.
