Abstract

An analytical solution of Reynolds' equation for a finite bearing with an inclined journal has been attempted. The tilt stiffness and a bearing coefficient were obtained by analysing the components of couples exerted by the fluid on the journal for small tilt and tilt rates. A transformation of the coordinate systems was adopted to separate the effects produced by tilt — change in attitude angle and change in eccentricity with length. Expressions for pressure distribution were obtained by solving Reynolds' equation using a perturbation technique together with Fedor-type assumptions. Justification for Fedor-type assumptions is given for length-to-diameter ratios greater than 0.8.
