Nonlinear dynamics and bifurcation analysis of journal bearings based on second order stiffness and damping coefficients

Hussein Sayed et al.

Summary: Investigating the dynamics and stability of flexible rotors supported by journal bearings is crucial in designing efficient and reliable rotating machines. This study examines a model of a flexible rotor supported by two symmetric journal bearings. The nonlinear bearing forces are evaluated using either a direct solution of the Reynolds equation or analyzing it to obtain linear and nonlinear bearing stiffness and damping coefficients. These coefficients are obtained for different operating conditions and bearing parameters. The results are validated with previous literature and a perturbation analysis is used to investigate the validity range of the bearing coefficients. A novel technique based on polynomial fitting is used to represent the bearing coefficients as a function of the bearing parameters, enabling the study of the dynamics of the flexible rotor model using numerical continuation techniques. The effect of bearing design parameters on system stability, such as groove angle, length to diameter ratio, and static pressure, is also investigated.

Study on the influence of interfacial slip on the lubrication performance of a step slider bearing

Zhaogang Jing et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the interface effect in the lubrication performance of a step slider bearing through experimental and theoretical studies. It is found that the oleophobic F-DLC coating on the step slider increases the film thickness/load-carrying capacity and decreases the coefficient of friction. Contact angle measurements show that the inlet step surface has lower affinity to the lubricant compared to the outlet land due to surface roughness. Theoretical analyses reveal that different interfacial slip velocities on the inlet step and the outlet land can lead to changes in the load-carrying capacity and the COF.
