Theoretical Modeling of the Vapor Cavitation in Dynamically Loaded Journal Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical investigation is made of the evolution of a vapor bubble for a submerged journal bearing under dynamically loaded conditions. The solution to the Reynolds equation is determined ...
Discussion: “Design and Performance of Compliant Thrust Bearings With Spiral-Groove Membranes on Resilient Supports” (Licht, L., Anderson, W. J., and Doroff, S. W., 1981, ASME J. Lubr. Technol., 103, pp. 373–384)

Effect of Rate of Viscosity Variation on the Performance of Journal Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Variations in viscosity within the film is known to have a pronounced effect on journal bearing performance. Lubricants of the same grade with the same viscosity at a particular temperature ...
Performance of a Powder Lubricated Journal Bearing With WS2 Powder: Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous investigations have demonstrated the principle and feasibility of quasi-hydrodynamic lubrication using powders. With conventional lubricants, the hydrodynamic behavior of a journal bearing ...
Frequency Effects on the Stability of a Journal Bearing for Periodic Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, stability of a journal bearing is numerically predicted when an unidirectional periodic external load is applied. The analysis is performed using a cavitation algorithm, which ...
The Solution of the Elrod Algorithm for a Dynamically Loaded Journal Bearing Using Multigrid Techniques
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical solution to a theoretical model of vapor cavitation in a dynamically loaded journal bearing is developed, utilizing a multigrid iterative technique. The method is compared with a ...
Analysis of Starvation Effects on Hydrodynamic Lubrication in Nonconforming Contacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical methods were used to determine the effects of lubricant starvation on the minimum film thickness under conditions of a hydrodynamic point contact. Starvation was effected by varying ...
Discussion: “Thermal Effects in Rolling/Sliding Contacts: Part 3—Approximate Method for Prediction of Mid-Film Temperature and Sliding Traction” (Sadeghi, Farshid, Dow, Thomas A., and Johnson, Richard R., 1987, ASME J. Tribol., 109, pp. 519–523)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A High Speed Photography Study of Cavitation in a Dynamically Loaded Journal Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The earlier study made by Jacobson and Hamrock on the cavitation of liquid lubricant films in a dynamically loaded journal bearing was repeated with a quartz sleeve, which was more rigid than ...
Closure to “Discussions of ‘A High Speed Photography Study of Cavitation in a Dynamically Loaded Journal Bearing’” (1991, ASME J. Tribol., 113, pp. 292–293)
