About

The project traget to design , develope and test textured water lubricated bearings for under water applications. The water lubricated bearings will designed using hydrodybNomic Reynols equation, under consideration of deformation of the polymer bearings. Four different texture will be designed and best among them will be fabricated and its perfomance will be tested in a developed test rig.
