STABILITY ANALYSIS OF GAS LUBRICATED SELF-ACTING PLAIN CYLINDRICAL JOURNAL BEARINGS OF FINITE LENGTH, USING GALERKIN'S METHOD

Abstract

One of the most important considerations in designing a high-speed, gas-lubricated, self acting journal bearing is the instability of the journal under a given operating condition. Intensive research in this direction has led to a number of significant contributions in the past five years. The present paper extends the method of Cheng and Trumpler to study the stability of plain cylindrical gas journal bearings of finite length. Both equilibrium and stability results were obtained.
