Abstract: Based on the theory of variational inequality, a rapid efficient algorithm for fluid force and its Jacobian matrix in journal bearing is presented in this paper. Primarily, to solve the fluid ...

Abstract: Based on the free boundary theory and variational method, this paper presents a Ritz method to compute the instantaneous hydrodynamic forces of a real bearing subject to any perturbed motions ...

Abstract: A fast and accurate model to calculate the fluid-film forces of a fluid-film bearing with the Reynolds boundary condition is presented in the paper by using the free boundary theory and the ...
