Ana1ysis of 1aminar squeezing flow of a non-Newtonian power 1aw f1uid between conica1,journa1 and spherica1 bearings was carried out on the basis of the 1ubrication approximation. Ana1ytic expressions for the pressure distribution, the load capacity and the thickness-time re1ation of squeeze fi1ms are presented. The various characteristics of non-Newtonian squeeze fi1ms are discusseddepartmental bulletin pape
