Abstract

Centrally loaded partial arc bearings having deformable bearing surfaces have been analysed. The coupled Reynolds equation satisfying the pressure field in the fluid and the three-dimensional elasticity equations governing the deformations in the bearing lining are solved simultaneously using the finite element method. The steady state solution for the coupled problem is obtained by using a doubly nested iteration scheme which determines the positive pressure field in the fluid film and the orientation of the load line. The influence of bearing deformation on the load capacity, attitude angle, friction coefficient parameter and oil flow are reported for 60° and 120° partial arc bearings. The analysis is extended for lubricants having pressure-dependent viscosity.
