## Abstract Polymer composites are used as facing materials in hydrodynamic bearings for their low friction and βcompliantβ properties, which play an important role during machinery operation. In journal bearings, this low friction property can be of significant importance during start and stop cyc
A structural carbon based composite material has been investigated for its high temperature viscoplastic properties using a model based on an overbearing stress concept and using the data obtained from load relaxation and creep. The time dependent viscoplastic properties were obtained at several loa
