Hydrodynamic pressure, carrying capacities, friction forces in biobearing gap.
The present paper deals with the calculations of the pressure distributions, carrying capacities and friction forces derivations in a super- thin layer of biological synovial fluid inside the slide biobearing gap limited by a spherical, conical, cylindrical, parabolic, hyperbolic bone heads. There are also described unsteady and random flow conditions of the bio-bearing lubrication with the changes of the dynamic viscosity of the synovial fluid in the gap height in general.
