Abstract: This paper analyses the stability characteristics of a rigid rotor mounted in flexibly supported hydrodynamic oil journal bearings considering pressure depended viscosity including the effect of elastic distortion on the surface of bearing liner. This theoretical analysis is intended to show how the effect of elastic distortion along with the flexible support on the journal bearing performance considering pressure depended viscosity can be calculated for three-dimensional bearing geometries. The deformation equations for bearing surface will be solved simultaneously with hydrodynamic equations considering constant viscosity. A Non-linear time transient method is used to simulate the journal and bearing centre trajectory and thereby to estimate the stability parameter. In this analysis forth order Runge-Kutta method is used to determine the locus of the journal and the bearing centre for the various operating conditions. The stability of the system is determined from the combined stability effect in journal and bearing centre. It has been found that stability decreases with increase of of the elasticity parameter of the bearing.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Journal bearings are widely used in rotating machineries to support large loads at mean speed of rotation. Regardless of significant advancement in lubrication technology, these bearings fail due to metal to metal contact when they operate below certain minimum speed especially during starting and stopping operations. In order to save cost of replacing the bearing, these bearings are provided with flexible liner. But the deformation of liner, affects the performance characteristics of the bearing particularly at high values of eccentricity ratio.

    Many investigators notably ODonoghue et al. [10], Brighton et al. [11] and Majumder et al. [9], Jain et al. [ 13 ], Chandrawat and Sinhasan [ 5 ], Oh and Huebner [19] solved the journal bearing problem considering the effect of elastic distortion of the bearing liner. ODonoghue et al. [10 ] dealt

    distortion in the bearing liner on bearing performance. Majumder [9] had done the stability analysis also by linearised method. The displacement equations thus derived were compared with those of ODonoghue et al. [10] for two dimensional elasticity problem with axial displacements reduced to zero. The displacement equations and form of film pressure tallied completely with Mazumder et al. [9] and stability performance analysis is done considering liner deformation through parametric study of the various variables like eccentricity ratio, slenderness ratio, Poisson ratio, liner thickness to radius ratio with variation in pressure depended viscosity.

      in double Fourier series of the form:

      housing, preventing any displacement of the outer surface. The ends of the bearing are prevented from expanding axially, but are free to move circumferentially or radially.

      The displacement components in r, and z directions are found from the pressure distribution, which has been expressed in a Fourier series. It is apparent that the displacements will also be harmonic functions.

Further, the family of the curves shows declining trend i.e., critical mass parameter decreases with increase in deformation factor. The decreasing trend of the curve is very slow.

  5. CONCLUTION

Numerical methods are used to determine the effects of elastic distortions in the bearing liner on bearing stability of finite journal bearing:

    1. The stability decreases as the bearing liner is made more flexible for high eccentricity ratios (i.e., 0 > 0.8). For 0 < 0.5, the flexibility of the bearing liner had little or no effect on stability.

    2. Bearing is highly stable when L D is small but drops as L D increases from 0.5 to 2.0. This stability drops as deformation factor increases.

    3. The hydrodynamic pressure and hence the stability

      is reduced as the bearing liner becomes more flexible, especially at eccentricities greater than 0.8.

    4. As the Poisson ratio increases the stability increases but drop sharply when bearing liner is made more flexible.

    5. As the liner thickness to radius ratio increases the stability decreases but drop when bearing liner is made more flexible
