In this paper is presented a method of forming an exact self-similar solution of the problem of calculating the hydrodynamic thrust bearing with an adapted profile support surface and emfiruyuschimi properties in the transient regime of friction. Prepared and conducted evaluation of the main working characteristics: dimensionless load carrying capacity, dimensionless friction force and dimensionless costs. The optimal parameters for the main performance are gotten.
Keywords: thrust bearing, two-layer lubrication, porous layer, the nonstationary problem
