Abstract

Based on the fast fourier transform(FFT) and flexibility matrix method, the study is presented for journal bearing elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The effects of FFT and flexibility matrix method on the distribution of oil film pressure and elastic deformation in the steady load are investigated. The results are shown that the difficulty of the EHL for journal bearings in the case of high eccentricity ratios or heave loads can be effectively solved by the FFT method. When the eccentricity ratio is smaller, the magnitude and distribution of the oil film pressure are basic agreement by FFT method and flexibility matrix method. When the eccentricity ratio enhances, the maximum oil film pressure obtained by FFT method is bigger on both ends of the journal bearing and on its intermediate is smaller.
