... the perturbation method. Finite difference method was employed to solve the load capacity, power loss, oil flow rate, dynamic stiffness, and damping coefficients. This paper provides a new perspective for analysis on the dynamic characteristics of the spherical hinge. hydrostatic spherical hinge static...

... viscoelastic fluid thin film asymptotic analysis perturbation method Many authors have investigated the non-Newtonian effects of fluids based upon various rheological models in lubrication [( 1 )]. In most of them, the main key point relies on the choice of the relationship between the effective...
