Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical study of non-Newtonian effects in conical squeeze-film plates that is based on the Rabinowitsch fluid model. Design/methodology/approach A non-linear, modified Reynolds equation accounting
for the non-Newtonian properties following the cubic stress law equation is derived. Through a small perturbation method, first-order closed-form solutions are obtained. Findings It is found that the non-Newtonian properties of dilatant fluids increase the load capacity and
lengthen the response time as compared to the case using a Newtonian lubricant; however, the non-Newtonian behaviors of pseudoplastic lubricants result in reverse influences. Originality/value Numerical tables for squeeze-film loads of conical plates are also provided for engineering
applications.",
