Abstract

A detailed journal bearing analysis for accurate evaluation of film dynamic characteristics is presented. The new formulation is based on a local perturbation of the oil film at each computational node that captures the important effects of journal misalignment and bearing structural deformation in rotor dynamics and engine NVH applications. The new algorithm is an extension to the classical approach of evaluating film dynamic characteristics based on journal eccentricity perturbation. The governing equations for the oil film pressure, stiffness, and damping are solved using a finite difference approach and their output is validated with numerical results from the literature.
