Large-scale wind turbine bearings including main bearings, gearbox bearings, generator
bearings, blade bearings and yaw bearings, are critical components for wind turbines to …

Journal bearing misalignment arise generally from the shaft deformation under load,
deflection of the shaft, manufacturing and assembly errors, improper installation, and …

Numerous studies on the lubrication characteristics of journal bearings with existing journal
misalignment and bearing elastic deformation have demonstrated that both significantly …

A computational model is developed to assess the effect of wear on the performance of an
engine bearing. The model takes into account the variation of the film thickness under …

The use of planetary gear stages intends to increase power density in drive trains of rotating
machinery. Due to lightweight requirements on this type of machine elements, structures are …

The influence of misalignment on a dynamically-loaded engine bearing is investigated using
a mass-conserving cavitation algorithm. Whereas in statically loaded bearings misalignment …

The present study aims to solve a system-level problem regarding a journal bearings-gear
pump based on a novel simulation model. The developed model consists of different …

The dynamic response of rotating systems supported by hydrodynamic bearings considering
the journal deformation-induced misalignment has been investigated in recent years …

This paper investigates transient and steady state behavior of grooveless (angularly)
misaligned bearings using finite element formulations of the complete two-dimensional …

In this paper, the steady-state characteristics, including film pressure, load capacity, stiffness,
