Comparative analysis of surface texturing effecton the performance of hydrodynamic journalbearings

One can observed that, for a fully textured journal bearing and for a partially (only the first one half of the bearing surface is textured) journal bearing, the positive effect

Improving performance of textured bearing with spherical dimples suggest that contact characteristics such as minimum film thickness, maximum pressure, and friction

Texturing the contact inlet region (cases 10 to 12) has a modest and negative effect on the bearing performances; + 0.1% for the maximum pressure, -0.2% for the film thickness and no

The textured bearingperformance enhancement passes essentially by a minimum film thickness and a friction torque improvement through anappropriate surface texture geometry and
