Journal bearing specific wear rate
Average contact pressure, worn volume and specific wear rate of a journal bearing, from the shaft/bearing dimensions, load, wear depth and sliding distance.
Average contact pressure, F/(LD)10 MPa
Wear volume, V96.00000000000001 10⁻⁶ m³
Specific wear rate, k3.8461538461538467 10⁻¹⁵ m²/N
Method & references
- Wear volume approached as V = d·L·D, valid when the wear depth is large compared to the radial clearance.
