Pressure in slide journal plane bearing by laminar unsteady oil flow

This paper shows results of numerical solutions a modified Reynolds equation for laminar unsteady oil flow in slide journal plane bearing gap. It shows a preliminary analysis of pressure distribution change in the bearing by laminar, unsteady lubrication caused by velocity perturbations of oil flow in the longitudinal direction of a bearing. Described effect can be used as an example of modelling the bearing friction node operations in reciprocating movement during exploitation of engines and machines. Plane crossbar journal bearing occur in ship combustion engine as a crosshead bearing. During modelling crossbar bearing operations in combustion engines, bearing movement perturbations from engine vertical vibrations causes velocity flow perturbations of lubricating oil on the bearing race and on the bearing slider in the longitudinal direction. Engine forced vertical vibrations frequency and crankshaft forced torsional vibrations is determined by shaft rotational speed, engine cylinder number and by engine type. This solution example applies to isothermal bearing model with infinity length. Lubricating oil used in this model has Newtonian properties and dynamic viscosity in dependence on pressure. Results are presented in the dimensionless hydrodynamicpressure diagrams.
