Abstract:A floating bush bearing has a double oil film, which is difficult to observe using traditional methods. In this study, the oil film of a floating bush bearing is observed using X-ray computer tomography. By appropriately processing the acquired CT images, double oil films can be observed efficiently. The CT images show that the oil film area decreases in the inner clearance and does not change in the outer clearance when the increase of the bush rotation speed is suppressed despite the increase in the shaft ro… Show more
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.
