The theoretical analysis of the effect of transverse magnetic field on the couplestress squeeze film lubrication between circular stepped plates is presented. The modified Reynolds equation is derived. The closed-form expressions are obtained for the squeeze film pressure, load-carrying capacity, and squeeze film time. The squeeze film characteristics are presented for different operating parameters. It is observed that the effect of applied magnetic field on the squeeze film lubrication between circular stepped plates with couplestress fluids is to increase the load-carrying capacity significantly and to delay the time of approach considerably as compared to the corresponding non-magnetic case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
