Porous metal bearings are widely used in small and micro devices. To compute
the pressure one has to solve the Reynolds equation coupled with the Laplace
equation...We show that it is possible to give to the relevant boundary value
problem a variational formulation. We show that the pressure inside a porous
bearing is less then that of the corresponding non-porous bearing.(read more)
