Zhang s approach, and the results are compared with those of the inclined plane slider. 

For an inclined plane slider, the above equation yields,... 

The application of the Reynolds equation to a simple problem in lubrication is illustrated by an examination of the plane slider bearing, which is basically a combination of two plane surfaces, one of which is inclined relative to the other. Figure 2-4 is a diagrammatic cross-...

Figure 2-5 is a plot of the pressure distribution as a function of the fractional distance x/B for a plane slider bearing of length B = 50.8 mm, angle of inclination a = 0.000145 rad, minimum film thickness h2 = 7.62 pm, sliding with a velocity U = 8.13 m/s and lubricated with an oil... 

Figure 2-5. Pressure distribution for plane slider bearing. Length B 50.8 mm. Width L 50.8 mm. Velocity U 8.13 m/s. Angle a 0.000145 rad. Minimum film thickness kj 7.62 iim. Viscosity n 0.073 Pa-s.

In the plane slider bearing the shear stress on the surface y = h is on the surface y = 0, (Tj ). These conditions, together with the convention used for the direction of the velocity give the expression below for the frictional force in the oil film between two surfaces ...
