Analysis of Film Thickness Effect in Slow-Speed Lightly-Loaded Elasto-Hydrodynamic Contacts. Part I. Development of Film Thickness Measurement Technique.
Abstract
The report presents a summary of the first year's effort in a two-year program to study the influence of the oil film thickness on lubricant film behavior and bearing-lubricant life expectancy in despin mechanical assembly-type bearings operating in vacuum. Experimental and analytical work that has been performed on the development of a technique to measure the oil film thickness in an actual bearing operating in vacuum is described.
