This paper proposes an optimum design method of journal bearing for minimizing the total life cost which includes not only the initial cost but also the running cost. Journal bearing is one of the typical friction part and physically severe part in machine elements. Therefore, maintenance is required to prevent failure and to keep performance. For this object, the running cost by the maintenance is user’s burden. Thus, the optimum design method of the bearing for minimization of the total life cost is required. In this research, the evaluation functions of the total life cost which contains the initial cost and the running cost of the bearing are discussed and the optimum design is proposed under the physical constrain, that is Thermo Hydrodynamic Lubrication theory (THL theory), and inequality constraints. Then design valuables of the optimum journal bearing are obtained.

Hydrodynamic Lubrication Theory

Journal bearing in high-speed working conditions will generate a lot of heat, which affects its working performance. Based on hydrodynamic lubrication theory, a model of the thermal hydrodynamic lubrication was built, and the distributions of temperatures and pressures of the oil film were obtained from the simultaneous solution of generalized Reynolds, energy and viscosity-temperature equations. The results show that the temperature will increase and the pressure decrease of the lubrication oil film with the rising of the rotating speed, which will make the the bearing capacity decrease. Compared with the traditional isothermal model, the thermal hydrodynamic lubrication model is more consistent with the engineering practice.

Coordinate Perturbation

Three perturbation approaches that apply for regular hydrodynamic lubrication problems are discussed: a cross-film coordinate perturbation, an iterative scheme, and a regular perturbation in terms of the film aspect ratio. The methods are used to derive higher order terms for a driven corner flow with a Newtonian lubricant of constant properties. Reasons for preferring the regular perturbation scheme are presented, and this method is used to obtain the correct curvature correction in an infinitely long journal bearing. Criteria for identifying singular geometries in hydrodynamic lubrication are set fourth.

Theoretical Results

Performances of an oil-lubricated spiral-grooved journal bearing are investigated in this paper with special attention paid to cavitation occurrence. The “equivalent flow model,” which is a theoretical scheme for taking the cavitation occurrence into hydrodynamic lubrication theory, is applied to the analyses by a finite difference treatment of the Reynolds equation that deals with the geometry of a finite number of grooves. The calculated results are compared with experimental results under eccentric states, and verified in terms of cavitation map and pressure distribution. The cavitated area ratio, load capacity and bearing stiffness are also theoretically calculated. The difference between the theoretical results with and without consideration of the cavitation occurrence is considerable, and thus the influence of cavitation occurrence should not be ignored in theoretical studies on bearing characteristics.

Abstract The article investigates pocket bearings with contoured profiles of exponential forms on both surfaces inside and outside of the step boundary forming hydro-dynamic action surfaces, and develops optimum design data yielding efficient slider bearings with small pockets with higher load capacities than conventional pocket bearings. In the case of a pocket bearings, in addition to the Reynolds equation used for the regions inside and outside the pocket, the continuity equation along the pocket boundary is satisfied to form the complete model of the bearing. The optimum design data includes dimensionless load-, flow-, temperature rise-, power loss-, stiffness-, and the coefficient of friction factors. Incompressible lubricant with temperature dependent viscosity is considered. Detailed study of conventional pocket bearings with planar surfaces is included. Some optimum exponential pocket bearings yield up to 561 percent increase in load capacity as compared to the conventional tapered bearings.
