Abstract: Stability tests were conducted with 3.8 centimeter-(1.5 in.-) diameter, 3.8 centimeter-(1.5 in.-) long, fixed geometry hydrodynamic journal bearings in water at 300 K (80 deg F) with zero load. ...

Abstract: Operating characteristics for a 118-mm bore cylindrical roller bearing were calculated using the computer program CYBEAN. The predicted results of inner and outer-race temperatures and heat ...

Abstract: The stability characteristics and general transient motion of the finite-width three-lobe bearing assuming an incompressible fluid with cavitation are presented. The hydro-dynamic bearing forces are ...
