Load Capacity of Partially Textured Journal Bearing with Trapezoidal Recess

This work presents the load carrying capacity of partially textured journal bearing with
trapezoidal recess. The partial texture geometry is composed of a number of successive cells of
trapezoidal recess and land configurations. The non-dimensional pressure expressions for the
partially textured journal bearing with trapezoidal recess are derived. Results of nondimensional
load capacity are provided taking into consideration of texture geometry with trapezoidal recess and
extent of partial texture.
