Abstract: Abstract. Water-lubricated bearings (WLBs) in ultra-long shafting systems (ULSS) operate under highly complex service conditions, with the coupling effects of external loads, shaft deformation, and harsh marine environments. ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study establishes a generalized Reynolds equation model that incorporates the bending deformation of the stern shaft journal under combined vertical and horizontal loads. The journal deflection was obtained ...
