Abstract
Abstract The general equations for the film pressure and load capacity of a dynamically loaded sleeve bearing which have been derived by Harrison (1) and Swift (2) are discussed. Conclusions about the performance of the bearing under constant load, constant rotating load, and periodic alternating load of various frequencies as well as cases where the shaft is not rotating are drawn. A method is developed, based upon these equations, for analyzing any dynamically loaded bearing whose polar load diagram is known, and the method is applied to two actual bearings as examples, namely, a Diesel-engine connecting-rod bearing, and a radial-aircraft-engine master-rod bearing. It is shown that the results of these calculations can be simply generalized to apply to bearings under all other operating conditions, provided only that the shape of the load-versus-time curve remains unchanged.
