Abstract: To improve the efficiency in nonlinear dynamic calculation of finite-length tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) under dynamic loads, an analytical method for hydrodynamic bearing forces, which considers the turbulence ...

Abstract: High-viscosity plastic fluids and polymer liners are expected to improve the lubrication and load-carrying performance of low-speed and heavy-load journal bearings. The objective of this article is to investigate the ...
