Abstract: A transformation is presented whereby a hydrostatic film pressure distribution p(x, y) for constant viscosity ν is transformed into a solution assuming ν = ν(p, T) in which T(x, y) satisfies ...

Abstract: Reynolds’ equation for a full finite journal bearing lubricated by an incompressible fluid is solved by separation of variables to yield a general series solution. A resulting Hill equation is ...

Abstract: An approximation technique which combines the regions of accuracy of the short bearing and small eccentricity ratio approximations is presented and discussed by means of a sample problem.
