What is Thrust Bearings: Design and Failure Analysis about?

The document discusses thrust bearings, which support loads at the ends of crankshafts. Unlike radial bearings, thrust bearings can only support a few hundred pounds per square inch due to their flat design. Recent engine designs are now using contoured thrust bearings or separate thrust washers to enable higher thrust loads. Common causes of thrust bearing failure include poor crankshaft surface finish, misalignment, and overloading.
