Predicting natural frequencies of a hydrodynamically lubricated journal bearing with constant oil supply pressure.

Abstract

"The analytical and experimental investigations presented here determined natural frequencies and system behavior of a full journal bearing loaded dynamically and with oil supply pressure held constant.

The analysis showed that the bearing could be viewed as two independent second-order systems acting perpendicular to each other. This yielded an underdamped bearing for ε_O < 0.5747 and an overdamped bearing for 0.655 < ε_O < 0.675. The analysis also showed the bearing to be unstable beyond ε_O = 0.675.

The analysis, however, is limited to a full journal bearing with an oil supply pressure of 20 psig. and therefore, various supply pressures should be tested to yield an overall analysis"- Abstract, p. ii
