Comparative analysis of infinite and finite magneto-elastohydrodynamics slider bearings lubricated with couple stress fluids

This paper presents a comparative analysis of inclined infinite and finite slider bearings lubricated with conducting couple stress fluids in the presence of externally applied magnetics fields taking into account the elastic deformation of stationary surface. The modified two-dimensional magneto-elastohydrodynamic couple stress Reynolds type equation is derived. This governing equation is solved numerically using finite difference scheme, which involves the Gauss–Seidel method to obtain the bearing characteristics. The characterization of the load capacity and friction coefficient for different values of profile parameter, compliance coefficient, couple stress and Hartman number is presented. The present results are validated by comparison against available published data.
