A Simplified Thermohydrodynamic Stability Analysis of the Plain Cylindrical Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings

A journal bearing is used to support radial loads under high speed operating conditions. In a journal bearing, pressure or hydrodynamic lift is generated in the thin lubricant oil film that separates the shaft and the bushing, thus preventing metal-to-metal contact. Some journal-bearing configuratio...
