Abstract
The Newton-Raphson algorithm was used in conjunction with Murty’s algorithm and the finite-element method to analyze the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of a journal bearing under dynamic loading. Cavitation boundary conditions were used. A realistic compliance matrix and load schedule were used in the illustrative example. Solutions for the film pressure, the film thickness and its rate of change with time were obtained as functions of the crank angle.Keywords
