Abstract: The development of thermal bows in rotors is frequently reported. The cause of the bows is an asymmetric temperature distribution as a result of uneven heating. The heat source can be a ...

Abstract: An approximation of heat conduction dynamics in a rotating shaft is presented for use in the rotor dynamic analysis of multiple hydrodynamic bearings to predict alteration of vibrations due to ...

Abstract: A relation between journal vibration and asymmetric temperature in the lubricant-journal interface is derived. The bearing consists of five equally distributed tilting-pads. An arbitrary synchronous ...
