Abstract: | The article discusses a flat bearing with a gas lubricant, one of whose surfaces is shaped by inclined grooves and vibrates in accordance with a given harmonic law with a high frequency. The reaction of a thin layer of viscous compressible gas is formed as a result of interaction between the effects of slip and high-frequency vibrations. Asymptotic methods are used in the investigation of the reactions of the gaseous layer; the thermodynamic process in the lubricating layer is assumed to be isothermal, and in the equation of motion of the gas the effect of inertial and mass forces is not taken into consideration.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 43–50, March–April, 1976. |
