3. Preliminary design of a four-cell flat thrust bearing
The aim of this study is to show how a preliminary design can be carried out very quickly. A more detailed analysis would require the use of numerical methods to calculate the pressure field, and a reconsideration of certain assumptions; this aspect is addressed in paragraph 5 .
In the example we are developing here, it is assumed that the load F and the outer dimensions of the stop (L...
