RESUMO

In this work was developed a mathematical model for the hydrodynamic lubrication problem applied to bearings with oscillating motion. In contrast with common bearings, this type of bearing does not perform a complete rotation, belonging to a newly defined class: the bearings with oscillatory movement. The motivation lies in the tribology of internal combustion engines, specifically the lubrication problem at the bearing existing between the connecting rod and the piston pin. For the analysis of lubrication, a viscous fluid flow with negligible inertia inside a narrow gap formed by two surfaces was considered. The surfaces can be considered flat and are inclined to each other. The inner surface is fixed whereas the outer one performs an oscillating motion which generates a combined Couette-Poiseuille flow inside the gap. Using the same assumptions as in classical Reynolds´ lubrication equation, the simplified mass and momentum conservation equations were analytically solved to determine the velocity and pressure distributions and hydrodynamic forces. As result it was possible to determine the oil film thickness as function of time and oscillating frequency that allowed to evaluate the lubrication conditions of the system
