Abstract: The linearized ph approximation to the time dependent Reynolds equation is solved simultaneously with the equations of motion for a rotating journal shaft supported by a rigidly mounted bearing ...

Abstract: A graphical method provides, without templates and without factoring, a means for rapidly estimating log-amplitude versus log-frequency response curves from transfer functions in their unfactored ...

Abstract: A solution of Reynolds’ equation, linearized for small squeeze film motions, is presented which gives the pressure between two disks, one of which is oscillating about its diameter. Integration ...

Abstract: Linearized steady-state time-dependent solutions to the equations of journal motion are obtained for sinusoidally time-varying radial loads by utilizing the “linearized ph” technique to approximate ...

Abstract: An improved analytical solution designated the “linearized ph” solution is obtained for gas-lubricated journal bearings of finite length. Whereas the older first-order perturbation solution is ...

Abstract: A perturbation analysis is used to find the torque generated by a misaligned journal bearing (or, equivalently, to find the angular displacement of a torque-loaded journal). Results are presented ...

Abstract: This is a theoretical investigation into the behavior of self-acting long journal bearings lubricated with vapor which may partially condense in the high-pressure region of a loaded bearing. ...
