A flexible structure is applied to improve the lubrication performance of a misaligned journal bearing. The bearing representative sliding bearing, and there damage due metal-to-metal contact as result misalignment. Since misalignment an unavoidable phenomenon, with was proposed way it. characteristics were evaluated numerically under steady-state condition. EHL (elastohydrodynamic lubrication)...

An investigation on the surface waviness of both journal and bearing bush their impact static characteristics hydrodynamic is presented in this paper. The finite difference method introduced to solve a Reynolds equation obtain unknown pressure field. characteristics, including load carrying capacity, attitude angle, end leakage flow rate frictional coefficient are studied under different parame...

Synchronous Thermal Instability Evaluation of Medium Speed Turbocharger Rotor-Bearing Systems Brian R. Carroll Rotors in fluid-film bearing supported turbomachinery are known to develop elliptical orbits as a result of rotor-bearing interactions, mass unbalance within the rotor, gravitational bending of the shaft and external excitation. In synchronous whirl, where the speed at which the shaft ...
