Abstract
The effect of bearing shell deformation on the performance characteristics of a four-pocket hydrostatic journal bearing system using membrane type variable-flow restrictors as compensating elements is studied theoretically. The finite-element method has been used to obtain simultaneous solutions of the three-dimensional elasticity equation and the Reynolds equation. The performance characteristics of the bearing have been studied for a wide range of values of the operating load, deformation coefficient and for both hydrostatic and hybrid modes of operation. An example is given to highlight the significance of the study presented in the paper.
