An Experimental Investigation on the Misalignment Effects in Journal Bearings

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental performance of misaligned cylindrical and three-lobe journal bearings was evaluated using a double-disc rotor system with a test bearing in the middle and driven by a variable speed DC motor through an electromagnetic coupling.

Effects of journal misalignment on the performance characteristics of three-lobe bearings

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation has been made to evaluate experimentally the performance characteristics of a misaligned 3-lobe journal bearing, and various parameters which have been studied are: friction through coast down time analysis, vibration responses, minimum film thickness, stiffness and damping coefficients of the fluid film, system natural frequency and the damping factor.

Analysis of deceleration phenomenon of high speed rotor systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of decelerating a rotor from a high speed through its critical speeds has received very little attention in technical literature although transient processes occurring during coastdown of machinery usually provide a lot of information about their tribodynamics.

Wear Characteristics of Plain Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings During Repeated Starting and Stopping

TL;DR: In this paper, the onset and development of wear in plain hydrodynamic journal bearings under repeated cycles of starting and stopping has been studied experimentally and it was found that the wear caused easily discernable but localized changes in diametral clearance, surface finish, and roundness of the bearing's bore.

The Behavior of Plain Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings During Starting and Stopping

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of plain, hydrodynamic journal bearings during starting and stopping under a steady load was investigated and the starting behavior indicated that a rapid buildup of hydrodynamynamic forces occurred in all cases.
