Abstract
The present article deals with the effects of deformable bearing shells on the performance of lobed slot-entry hybrid journal bearing systems. The influence of the deformation coefficient [Formula: see text] has been studied using the thin liner elasticity model, which measures the flexibility of the bearing liner. Recently, smart fluid, that is, electrorheological (ER) fluid has been used in various tribological systems to obtain better performance. Therefore, the influence of ER lubricant on the bearing performance characteristics has also been studied in this work. Bingham model constitutive relation has been used to analyze the non-Newtonian behavior of ER fluid. The performance of fluid film bearings is greatly influenced by the noncircularity of the bearings. Therefore, the behavior of deformable bearing shells in a slot-entry journal bearing for lobed conditions has also been studied in the present study. The results reveal that considering deformation in the bearing shell reduces the value of frictional torque, whereas the value of stiffness coefficients and stability threshold speed increases. However, ER lubricant enhances the value of film thickness, stiffness/damping coefficients, and stability threshold speed margin.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering Tribology publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from academia and industry worldwide on the engineering science associated with tribology and its applications.
"I am proud to say that I have been part of the tribology research community for almost 20 years. That community has always seemed to me to be highly active, progressive, and closely knit. The conferences are well attended and are characterised by a warmth and friendliness that transcends national boundaries. I see Part J as being an important part of that community, giving us an outlet to publish and promote our scholarly activities. I very much look forward to my term of office as editor of your Journal. I hope you will continue to submit papers, help out with reviewing, and most importantly to read and talk about the work you will find there." Professor Rob Dwyer-Joyce, Sheffield University, UK
