Abstract
The main subject of this paper is analyzing the patterns of maximum oil film pressure and the minimum oil film thickness under various pre-conditions of geometric shape as functions of bearing groove and proceeding oil hole in the connecting rod bearing. As the major analytical tool, elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis has been applied and two-intertwined results of maximum oil film pressure and minimum oil film thickness have been compared and analyzed using EXCITE program. From computed results, the optimal lubrication conditions as geometric shape of bearing groove and the proceeding oil hole have been investigated. This may be useful for the bearing designer as a firm reference.
