Abstract
This paper extends the analysis of Part I to investigate the influence of oil inlet pressure and its position on the dynamic characteristics of axially grooved journal bearings. Using the dynamic fluid force derived in Part I, the equations of motion are solved for the locus of the journal center. A trial-and-error method is used to identify the instability threshold speed for a given Sommerfeld number S. The effects of oil inlet pressure (in the range of 0 ⩽ p ¯ i ⩽ 1 ) and inlet position (in the range of 0⩽ Θ i⩽90°) on the instability threshold speed of a rotor-bearing system are investigated and discussed. It is shown that the instability threshold speed with oil inlet position Θ i=0 decreases on increasing the oil inlet pressure p ¯ i from 0 to 1.0 while the influence of oil inlet position on the instability threshold speed depends on the steady state eccentricity ratio ε.
