A layering-sliding mesh method was developed to realize Reynolds boundary condition in
three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of journal bearings. Hybrid …

Purpose Friction and wear are very important factors in predicting the performance of journal
bearings, particularly under heavy load in start-up processes. However, there are few …

A coupled model of the multibody dynamics for the main mechanism of internal combustion
engines and lubricated joints are developed in this work. The joints are treated as …

The intrinsic correlation between the flow characteristics at the core of the bar and the
crankshaft surface cracks for an S43CMnV non-quenched and tempered steel three-cylinder …

This work aims to study the effect of semi-ellipsoid texture on the bearing load capacity and
maximum oil film temperature of tilting pad journal bearings. It has been shown that surface …

Purpose This paper aims to numerically investigate the surface texturing effects on the main
bearings of a three-cylinder ethanol engine in terms of the power loss and friction coefficient …

The design of five-pad tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB) is complicated because of the
uncertainty of design parameters that greatly affects the performance of TPJB. In this study …

Purpose This paper aims to compare different dynamical models, cavitation procedures and
numerical methods to simulate hydrodynamic lubricated bearings of internal combustion …

The article presents a technique for solving the problem of multicriteria optimization of
microgeometric parameters. The calculation methods are based on the mass conservation …

The starting torque of self-lubricating spherical plain bearings (SSPBs) is a key parameter
for evaluating the performance of bearings. Therefore, the starting torque of SSPBs should …
