Journal Bearings Optimization and Analysis. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2009, Pages: 216
Optimization Tool for Bearing Engineers This book focuses on two important aspects of journal bearing design - namely a thermal prediction tool for both sliders and journal bearings as well as a five variable optimization technique using the hybrid scheme. A three-dimensional finite element thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication model that couples the Reynolds and energy equations is developed. The model uses the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) finite element method. The model is accurate and converges rapidly. The model is used to validate the optimization of journal bearings using data in the literature. Numerous simulation results appear in the appendices.
