Generally, the movement of journal along the direction of bearing axis under the combined action of various factors is neglected in the lubrication study of bearing, which is quite different from the actual working condition of bearing in the shaft-bearing system. In this paper, with a comprehensive consideration of the axial movement of journal, the surface topography of journal and bearing and the misalignment of journal, a new model about the hydrodynamic lubrication of misaligned journal bearing is established based on the average Reynolds equation. Considering the effect of the axial movement of misaligned journal, the lubrication characteristics parameters of rough journal bearing is presented and mainly discussed. The results show that the axial movement of misaligned journal has a distinct effect on the bearing lubrication characteristics. The influence of the axial movement of misaligned journal on the bearing lubrication characteristics is slightly reduced when considering the surface roughness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
