Slider Journal Bearing: A Review

The importance of pressure of lubricant in slider bearing and wear control cannot be overemphasized for economic reasons and long-term reliability. The effect of change in speed and viscosity are two major factors for smooth running and long-term life of bearing. These two factors are my area of study. These advances provide the impetus for research aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the nature of sinusoidal slider bearing and consequences of the change in speed of bearing and viscosity of lubricant interactions between materials of bearing. This paper presents the reviews of different works in the area of wear, friction, pressure, change in speed and change in the value of viscosity in sinusoidal grooved slider bearings and tries to find out latest developments and trends available in industries and other fields in order to know maximum increment in pressure in short, finite and infinite slider bearing.
