Abstract: To determine the bifurcation types in a rotor-bearing system, it is required to find higher order derivatives of the bearing forces with respect to journal velocity and position. As closed-form expressions for journal ...

Abstract: The nonlinear stability of a flexible rotor-bearing system supported on finite length journal bearings is addressed. A perturbation method of the Reynolds lubrication equation is presented to calculate the bearing nonlinear ...

Abstract: In the current study, a modified fast converging, mass-conserving, and robust algorithm is proposed for calculation of the pressure distribution of a cavitated axially grooved journal bearing based on the finite volume ...
