Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide an efficient method for determining the stiffness coefficients of hydrodynamic plain journal bearings lubricated by water. In addition to the different physical properties of water and oil, the cavitation effect of water is taken into account. The relationships between the stiffness coefficients and the load for bearings with different relative clearances, different length-to-diameter ratios and different rotational speeds are obtained. Bearings with different diameters are also studied to determine how load carrying capacity and stiffness coefficients change with diameter. Finally, a method is provided for determining the stiffness coefficients of such bearings.
