Abstract
An electrolytic model of a full journal bearing having a ratio of journal displacement to radial clearance of 0.1 has been constructed. The reliability of the model was established by comparing the results observed for the infinitely wide bearing with those predicted by the theory of Reynolds. The results obtained for models of journal bearings of finite width, bearings with circumferential grooves, and bearings with sources of lubricant are also in agreement with hydrodynamic theory.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
