It is often assumed that a journal bearing will operate more effectively with a twin groove
arrangement than a single groove one, but little evidence has been presented in support of …

Multi-axial groove hydrodynamic journal bearings are often preferred over single grooved
ones to improve lubricant distribution. However, when assessing the influence of loading …

A method of analysis of steadily loaded hydrodynamic journal bearings with a single axial
groove (either on the load line or at 90° to the load line) or two diametrically opposed axial …

An extensive survey of the experimental research on the static and/or dynamic
characteristics of fixed geometry, hydrodynamic journal bearings, available in English, in the …

The performance of hydrodynamic journal bearings is affected by the conditions under
which the lubricant is fed to the bearing gap. Axial grooves are often used and, depending …

The smooth operation of the power transmission systems found in many transport vehicles
and energy production systems is often limited by the reliability of the bearings which …

The aim of the paper is to produce a rapid calculation method for predicting lubricant flow in
plain cylindrical journal bearings. Lubricant flow data, already available from rigorous …

The paper describes a numerical investigation into the effect of temperature boundary
conditions and viscous dissipation on the behaviour of two-and three-lobe bearings. Model …

ABSTRACT A thermohydrodynamic model of spherical spiral groove bearings is presented
by considering the effect of bearing temperature change on the material property of …

A combined experimental and numerical investigation into the thermal behaviour and its
consequent effect on the performance of a three-lobe profile bore bearing is presented …
