Abstrakt: Generally a small amount of additives are added to the lubricant to increase its efficiency in the lubrication process. Usually these additives are in the form of long-chain molecules. These produced couple stresses and also have an affect on the lubrication process. A generalized Reynolds equation is derived for roller bearings lubricated by couple stress fluid as a lubricant under dynamically loaded conditions. This equation is applied to study the effect of couple stresses on the combined rolling and normal motion under cavitation boundary, conditions. The load capacity, frictional drag are analysed by velocity ratio parameter and also the effects of couple stress of these parameters on cavitation point is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
