Abstract: An approximate analytical solution is developed for full journal bearings which includes the effects of bearing finiteness and an incomplete oil film. The approximate solution is obtained by ...

Abstract: A complete oil film solution of Reynolds equation is found that takes into account the presence of a point source. The solution gives integrated journal bearing characteristics in finite form. ...

Abstract: A method of solution is developed that circumvents the algebraic complexity in the solution of Reynolds differential equation applied to full journal bearings. The method leads to equations for ...
