Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the stability and relative stability of porous journal bearing system with journal and bearing axes skewed. For linearized system the paper includes the ...

Abstract: The performance characteristics of noncircular bearings are known to be superior to those of the circular bearings. The two lobe bearings are finding increasing application in high speed ...

Abstract: A theoretical solution, using finite element method, to predict performance characteristics of a capillary compensated hydrostatic oil journal bearing has been presented. Load capacity curves for ...

Abstract: By discretizing time and numerically integrating the equations of motion either for the linearized or the nonlinear journal bearing system, the locus of journal center can be predicted in the ...

Abstract: Using finite element method steady state and dynamic performance of a capillary compensated hydrostatic journal bearing have been investigated. For stability studies, the critical mass of the ...
