Study on the Load Carrying Capacity of Sliding Bearing Lubricated by Synthetic Ester Oils

To meet with the latest environmental regulation, as environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL) in marine field, biodegradable oils based on synthetic ester oils, have been applied to stern tube bearings of many new building vessels since the end of 2013, when the US EPA∗ effectuated the...
