TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study concerning the static and dynamic performance of a hybrid journal bearing compensated by a slot restrictor has been presented using the finite element method (FEM) and results have been presented for a double row symmetric as well as asymmetric configurations for different values of slot width ratios and external load.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of slot-entry hydrostatic/hybrid journal bearings was analyzed by considering bearing shell flexibility in the analysis of fluid film thickness and the relevant governing equations have been solved by the finite element method, and the study indicates that, for given operating conditions, to get optimum performance of a bearing proper selection of the bearing flexibility parameter (C d ), the concentric design pressure ratio ( β ∗ ) and the type of bearing configuration (symmetric/asymmetric) are essential.
