The present work is focused on the theoretical study of the performance of journal bearing operating under steady state condition, with particular emphasis on the influence of lubricant supply arrangements. In this paper the influence of the location of the grooves with respect to the load line and influence of groove dimensions on the performance parameter were investigated. The optimum location of the groove axis lies between 60° to 90° to the load line. It is also concluded that smaller groove length yielded lower load carrying capacity.

This work demonstrates that granular flows (i.e., macroscale, noncohesive spheres) entrained into an eccentrically converging gap can indeed actually exhibit lubrication behavior as prior models postulated. The physics of hydrodynamic lubrication is quite well understood and liquid lubricants perform well for conventional applications. Unfortunately, in certain cases such as high-speed and high-temperature environments, liquid lubricants break down making it impossible to establish a stable liquid film. Therefore, it has been previously proposed that granular media in sliding convergent interfaces can generate load carrying capacity, and thus, granular flow lubrication. It is a possible alternative lubrication mechanism that researchers have been exploring for extreme environments, or wheel-regolith traction, or for elucidating the spreadability of additive manufacturing materials. While the load carrying capacity of granular flows has been previously demonstrated, this work attempts to more directly uncover the hydrodynamic-like granular flow behavior in an experimental journal bearing configuration. An enlarged granular lubricated journal bearing (GLJB) setup has been developed and demonstrated. The setup was made transparent in order to visualize and video capture the granular collision activity at high resolution. In addition, a computational image processing program has been developed to process the resulting images and to noninvasively track the “lift” generated by granular flow during the journal bearing operation. The results of the lift caused by granular flow as a function of journal rotation rate are presented as well.

Turbulence Effects

The static characteristics of misaligned three-axial water-lubricated journal bearing in the turbulent regime are analyzed for groove angles 36° and 18°. Ng and Pan’s turbulence model is applied to study the turbulence effects in the journal bearing. The static parameters such as load-carrying capacity, friction coefficient, and side leakage are found for different degree of misalignment (DM). The change in flow regime of the lubricant from laminar to turbulent and the increase in misalignment, improved the load capacity of the bearing. For lightly loaded bearings, the friction coefficient of the bearing increased with the increase in Reynolds number.

Bearing Analysis

The present study examines the influence of partial texturing of bearing surfaces on improvement in load capacity and reduction in friction coefficient for slider and journal bearing. The geometry of partially textured slider and journal bearing considered in this work composed of a number of successive regions of groove and land configurations. The nondimensional pressure expressions for the partially textured slider and journal bearing are derived taking into consideration of texture geometry and extent of partial texture. Partial texturing has a potential to generate load carrying capacity and reduce coefficient of friction, even for nominally parallel bearing surfaces.

Load Carrying

Computer simulations of a number of journal bearing’s geometries utilising acoustic levitation were carried out. The choice of the best geometry depended on the ability of a deformed shape, created by piezo-electric elements, to facilitate squeeze film ultrasonic levitation, and also to create three evenly distributed diverging aerodynamic gaps. Deformations of analysed variants of the bearing’s shape were generated by numerical simulations utilising the finite element method. For the chosen shapes of geometry, prototype bearings were made and their usefulness verified experimentally. As a result, the bearing with the highest load carrying capacity was identified.

First Order Perturbation

This paper analyzes the load-carrying capacity of the hybrid air lubricated journal bearing. Assuming a small eccentricity ratio, a first order perturbation solution is obtained. The air is fed to the bearing through inherent restrictor with feeding holes distributed around the circumference in one, two, and three feeding planes (Fig. 1). The number of feeding holes in each plane is sufficiently large to permit the feeding planes being treated as the line sources. The results are given for the load-carrying capacity and the attitude angle. A comparative study is made of the three types of gas feeding arrangements.

A theoretical study of the effectiveness of solid particles dispersed in oil in the elastohydrodynamic line contact is presented. The analysis includes the variation of the viscosity and density of the lubricant as a function of pressure. The deformation of solid particles and that of the bounding surfaces are taken into consideration. Results are presented for the variation of the film thickness and the load carrying capacity as a function of the particle size, concentration, and properties of various types of particles.

Bearing Design

A theoretical investigation is made to predict the performance of an externally pressurized air journal bearing having several pressure sources. The pressure distribution, which leads to the determination of load-carrying capacity and flow requirement, is obtained by solving Reynolds equation numerically. The load and flow, expressed in non-dimensional parameters, are presented for different bearing design parameters (dimensionless). The results predicted by this method are compared with others' experimental data.
