Abstract
Abstract By using different mathematical methods, Muskat and Morgan’s theory of force-feed lubrication (2, 3) is put in a compact, convenient form. The first derivative is neglected in the solution of Reynolds homogeneous equation to gain mathematical simplicity for the pressure distribution. Sommerfeld boundary conditions are used and no restriction on length of bearing is made. Explicit equations are derived for the characteristics of finite journal-bearing systems. Values calculated compare with published results when the source is at the crown of the bearing. It is estimated that the solution will give satisfactory results for eccentricity ratios up to 0.4. For relatively short bearings the eccentricity ratio can be extended to higher values.
