Abstract
Use of porous materials in fluid film is well established so as to make more uniform distribution of pressure along the journal surface. The work presented in this paper deals with theoretical examination into the effect of worn bearing surface on the behaviour of a hybrid double layer porous journal bearing system (DLPJBS) operating with power-law lubricants. The governing equation for the flow of non-Newtonian lubricant in the bearing porous clearance space is solved by using the FEM. The effects of non-Newtonian lubricant on the bearing characteristics of a worn bearing have been studied. Findings of this study indicates that the hybrid DLPJBS operating under non-Newtonian lubricant offers enhanced values of $${\bar{h}}_{min}$$ , $${\bar{\omega}}_{th}$$ and rotor dynamic coefficients (stiffness and damping coefficients).
