This work presents the determination of the performance characteristics of hydrodynamic oil lubricated journal bearings of fixed geometry, with elliptical profile using the finite element method. A finite element procedure ...

This work proposes a framework to the numerical identification of nonlinear fluid film bearing parameters from large journal orbital motion (20-60% of the bearing clearance). Nonlinear coefficients are defined by a third ...

Understanding the behavior of fluids that interact with solid structures, like the design of hydrodynamic bearings involves the study of mathematical models and experimental complex, this fact is of fundamental importance ...
