Abstract
AbstractA semi‐analytical solution of the Reynolds equation for hydrodynamic bearings in rotordynamic simulations is investigated, which is based on the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM). The numerical efficiency of this approach is compared to the Finite Element Method (FEM), considering linear as well as higher‐order shape functions. It is observed that the SBFEM requires significantly less computational time than the FEM, especially with respect to high‐order formulations.
