Abstract:The aim of this work is to analyse the steady state on performance characteristics of hydrodynamic journal bearing including combined effect of bearing liner surface deformation and fluid-inertia. The average Reynolds equation that modified to include the fluid inertia effect and surface deformation is used to obtain pressure field in the fluid-film. The solutions of modified average Reynolds equations are obtained using finite difference method and appropriate iterative schemes. The effects of surface deformation factor and modified Reynold's number on circumferential fluid-film pressure distribution, load carrying capacity, attitude angle, and end flow of the bearing are studied for various eccentricity ratio, slenderness ratio, Poisson ratios, and liner thickness to radius ratio. The steady state bearing performance analysis is done through parametric study of the various variables like modified Reynolds number, eccentricity ratio, slenderness ratio, attitude angle, surface deformation factor. The variation of bearing load carrying capacity, attitude angle, end flow, friction parameters has been studied and plotted against various parameters.Keyword-Modified Reynolds number, slenderness ratio, attitude angle, sommerfeld number, eccentricity ratio, journal bearings, inertia, and deformation factor.
