Abstract

The lubricating characteristics of negative pressure slider were performed by using divergence formulation method with the coordinate transformation method. This method makes it possible to deal with an arbitrary configuration of a lubricated surface. The pressure profile of the slider is calculated. These results are compared to that from direct numerical method. The steady-state, including minimum film thickness, pitching and rolling angle are calculated by multi-dimensional Newton-Rapson method. The stiffness and damping characteristics are also calculated.
