Influences of journal with 3D form errors on dynamic coefficients of hydrodynamic bearings yielded to JFO boundary conditions

Abstract

The dynamic characteristics of the journal with form error are analyzed, including normalized stiffness and damping coefficients. A new expression for journal surface with form error is presented, which is capable of formulating any types of form errors on the journal, and the dimensionless Reynolds equation is renewed and solved suffering from the Jakobsson, Floberg, and Olsson boundary conditions. The results show that form errors do have a significant influence on the dynamic performance of journal bearings and that the uncertainty attribute of form error could result in variations of dynamic properties so significantly that the system might operate in an entirely different way. Therefore, it is necessary to take more operating information into account, such as the elaborate state of the journal surface, in order to predict the bearing performance more accurately.
