Abstract
Tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) are highly self-adaptive for serving as support bearings in marine gas turbines. However, the research on the transient lubrication performance of TPJBs during ship navigation is limited, especially under misalignment and complex heat exchange. A transient tribo-dynamic model considering the bi-directional misalignment and mixing temperature behavior of TPJBs has been built. The time-varying oil film characteristics are comparatively analyzed among different misalignments. Moreover, the influence of mixing temperature behavior on transient responses is further revealed. The results indicate that the interaction effect of mixing behavior and misalignment has a substantial impact on the transient characteristics of TPJBs with dynamic load. It is significant to forecast the lubrication performance of TPJBs of marine gas turbines.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
