... the performance of the water-lubricated thrust bearings, in which the surface textures are introduced and optimized using topological optimization. By this approach, the influence of speed, misalignment angle, surface roughness, and lubrication state can be analyzed. The results demonstrate that with the increase...

... texture may be induced on its surface. This enables the setup to attain a desired time-dependent macroscopic lubrication response. The computational framework is based on a numerically efficient two-stage design approach. In the first stage, a topology optimization framework is introduced for determining...
