Effect Of Surface

This paper examines the effect of surface roughness in hydrodynamic narrow porous journal bearings operating under steady conditions. The problem is formulated mathematically and solved analytically with appropriate boundary conditions. It is shown that the results are significantly different than those for the case of an infinitely long journal bearing. [S0742-4787(00)00602-0]

Effect Of Surface

Christensen’s stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces is used to study the effect of surface roughness in an infinitely long porous journal bearing operating under steady conditions. It is shown that the surface roughness considerably influences the bearing performance; the direction of the influence depends on the roughness type.

Thermal Boundary Conditions

The evaluation of the thermohydrodynamic (THD) performance of journal bearings continues to be an important issue. This is particularly so for high speed or heavily loaded bearing designs. This paper focuses attention on the thermal boundary conditions at the lubricant-bearing interface. The solid component conduction problem is solved in advance of the main THD analysis. Boundary conditions are then imposed on the lubricant THD analysis through use of an appropriate influence coefficient matrix that incorporates the solid component conduction problem. This avoids the current practice of solving the lubricant and solid component problems separately in an iterative loop to achieve continuous temperatures and heat fluxes at the interface. Instead, only the lubricant problem needs to be solved using the boundary conditions imposed by the influence coefficient matrix.

Effect Of Surface

The present paper, evaluates the effect of surface roughness on the performance characteristics of capillary compensated 3-lobe symmetric hole entry hybrid journal bearing. The effect of surface roughness patterns viz; transverse, isotropic, longitudinal and smooth, on bearing performance is presented for different values of offset factor. A modified form of Reynold’s equation in conjunction with restrictor flow equation is solved by using Galerkin’s technique of FEM. The numerically simulated results of the study indicate that the surface roughness orientation patterns affect the performance of 3-lobe hybrid journal bearing system significantly. Further, it is noticed that the longitudinal roughness pattern provides enhanced value of rotor dynamic coefficient.To have an improved dynamic performance, a judicious selection of offset factor and surface roughness pattern parameter is essential.

Generalized Reynolds Equation

Performance characteristics for a complete journal bearing of finite axial length are obtained analytically using a new set of boundary conditions. The generalized Reynolds equation is transformed, in the present analysis, into three ordinary differential equations, two of which being readily integrable while the third is solved by variational methods. By the aid of a specially devised computer program, the validity of the analysis has been assured when applied to prescribed journal loci including stationary, circular, elliptical, and linear harmonic journal oscillation.

Rupture Part

An analytical analysis of journal bearing performance under conditions of film rupture by separation and by cavitation is performed. The ruptured region is considered to have an infinite number of cavities. The boundary condition of Reynolds’ equation at the trailing edge is influenced by the bearing’s operating characteristics and the method of oil admission. A variational solution is given in order to extend the applicability of the boundary conditions to bearings of finite length.

Effect Of Surface

Abstract Surface texturing is one effective means to improve bearing performance. Available studies are mainly focused on the perfectly aligned journal bearing with textures. The studies involving the effect of surface texturing on the misaligned bearing are still limited. In the present study, a transient mixed lubrication model that allows predicting evolution of friction characteristics with high efficiency was proposed. The misalignment of journal bearing under the time-varying applied load was considered using two deflection angles. The performance of journal bearing with provision for misalignments and textures was studied using the proposed model. The results involving the orbits of the journal center and the energy loss of different misaligned journal bearings were obtained. The influences of misalignment degree and surface texturing on these parameters were analyzed. The results show that along with the increased deflection angles, the effect of texturing on the tribological performance of journal bearing would turn beneficial into harmful.
