The bearing surface has three primary properties that make it suitable for use in an engine: embeddability, conformability, and fatigue strength. Provide definitions for each of these properties.
What will be an ideal response?
Embeddability is a bearing property that helps prevent crankshaft wear. When foreign particles are forced between the bearing and journal, they are absorbed by the softer bearing material. When the particle is too large to be completely absorbed, it creates a high spot on the bearing.
Conformability allows the soft bearing surface to "flow" and conform to a damaged crankshaft journal surface.
Fatigue strength is the bearing's ability to withstand intermittent loads without deteriorating.
