Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
civil engineering in electromechanics, 3rd year5
Holder(s) :  Jean‑Luc Bozet
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  Justification of fundamental assumptions in the case of incompressible thin films. Equation of Stokes, of dissipation and finally description of basic Reynolds equation. Numerical methods of treatment. Special problems like: Field of temperatures in steady-state regime, field of pressures and shaft trajectories during a non-stationary cycle (engine rods), problems of instability in journal bearings, squeeze films hydrostatic of incompressible fluids, elastohydrodynamic, rheology of greases and porous bearings. Resolution of problems.
Course objective :  Overview of the various types of bearings and lubrication modes: hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and elastohydrodynamic, as well in stationary regime as in non-stationary. Study of basic rheology of greases.
