... configurations is rather limited and is primarily confined to hydrodynamic spherical journal bearing. The previously mentioned studies indicate that the behavior of fluid film bearings is greatly influenced by surface topography. Additionally, ER fluid technology has been a new area of attention for tribologists...

... of electrorheological lubricant on the performance of grooved hybrid spherical journal bearing. The effect of different arrangements of grooves, i.e., partially grooved or fully grooved on the bearing surface, has been studied. The finite element method is used to numerically simulate the results. Furthermore...
