There are number of factors which influence the performance characteristics of two-lobe journal bearings viz: number of lobes, type of lubricants, preload factor etc. and performance characteristics can be enhanced by creating textures on the bearing surface. The current paper presents a theoretical study considering the combined effect of dimple depth and preload factors on the performance characteristics of two-lobe journal bearing. For this purpose, Reynolds equation governing the flow of Newtonian lubricant is solved via Galerkin’s FEM approach to investigate the influence of dimple depth and preload factor on the performance parameters of partially textured two-lobe journal bearing. Firstly, the pressure of fluid-film for plain/partially textured two-lobe journal bearing is evaluated at different nodes. Then, the performance characteristics of partially textured bearing are calculated and compared with plain two-lobe journal bearing. The computed results demonstrate that the static and dynamic performance characteristics of partially textured two-lobe journal bearing can be improved by increasing the preload factor. Further, the results reveal that the optimum static and dynamic performance parameters can be obtained when the dimple depth is 0.16. |
