Abstract
The sketch shows a so called step slider consisting of two sections of constant gap height h(x). Considering the simplification in lubrication theory,calculate
-
a)
the pressure distribution p(x) in the gap (Hint: observe that the volume flux is continuous at the transition point x = l1),
-
b)
the load capacity,
-
c)
the necessary force to move the lower wall by integrating the stress vector over
-
1)
the top wall,
-
2)
the bottom wall.
