Abstract

An analytical solution of an infinite lubricated inclined slider bearing with non-Newtonian Powell-Eyring fluid as lubricant is presented. The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is used and solutions for velocity components and pressure distribution in the slider bearing are derived with the method. The pressure distributions in the bearing are illustrated graphically for a range of non-Newtonian fluid material and bearing geometric parameters, and the effects of these parameters on the load carrying capacity of the bearing are discussed.
