...Guotao Zhang; Zan Zhang; Zhaochang Wang; Yanhong Sun; Baohong Tong; Deyu Tu Purpose The lubricating fluid stored in the porous matrix will spontaneously exude to supplement the lubricating film in the damaged area, thus ensuring the long-term self-lubricating function of the porous surface...

... and experimental simulations on porous surface hydrostatic thrust bearing using capillary tube as a restrictor. The authors examined the performance of solid surface thrust bearing vis-a-vis conventional porous thrust bearing and newly proposed thrust bearing having porous layer in the land region...
