It is known that the effects of oil supply conditions on the characteristics of plain journal bearings are significant and especially the dynamic characteristics are affected by cavity region. For various shapes (axial groove, spiral groove, X-shape groove) and positions of oil grooves, the pressure distribution and the static performance of plain journal bearings are obtained with numerical methods. Elrods algorithm which implements JFO oil rupture/reformation boundary condition is used in order to take into account the effect of cavity region. It is shown that in the cases of axial groove or X-shape groove the load capacity and the attitude angle are affected by the groove position but the effect of spiral groove position is less significant.

This paper proposes a method to calculate the stiffness and the damping coefficients of the coupled journal and thrust bearings. The Reynolds equations and their perturbation equations are transformed to the finite element equations by considering the continuity of pressure and flow at the interface between bearings. The Reynolds boundary condition is used in the numerical analysis to simulate the cavitation phenomena. The dynamic coefficients of the proposed method are compared with those of the numerical differentiation of the loads with respect to finite displacements and velocities of bearing center. It shows that the proposed method is more accurate and efficient than the differentiation method.

Large dynamic loads act on the rotor in rotary compressors. There are unbalance forces due to eccentric parts and gas forces induced by the pressure difference between compression and suction gases. Rotor-journal bearing system is nonlinear since the stiffness and damping coefficients of the lubricating oil film are not constant in the bearings. The system is considered as a coupled problem of flexible rotor and the journal bearings. Bearing reaction force is calculated from pressure of oil film using Reynolds equations in journal bearings. Pressure distribution in journal bearing is analyzed by finite difference method. The dynamic response of rotor and bearing characteristic are discussed when rotary compressor has a relative misalignment.

미국 중부 및 동남부에 위치한 많은 교량의 형식은 강거더와 콘트리트 슬래브의 복합 상부구조를 가지는 교량으로, 이들은 주로 라커베어링에 의해 상부구조가 지지 되어있다. 지진해석에서 이동식 라커베어링은 롤러나 마찰력으로 모델링 되는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나, 라커베이링은 일정 거리를 움직인 후 핀틀에 의해서 락킹되고, 이는 교량의 지진거동에 상당한 영향을 주리라고 판단된다. 본 연구는 이동식 라커베어링의 모델형식(롤러, 마찰력, 마찰력과 하드닝, 그리고 마찰력과 락킹)에 따른 다경간 단순지지 및 연속교에서의 지진거동을 고찰하였다. 락킹모델은 급격한 강성의 변화를 나타내는 요소를 포함하고 있어, 시간이력해석에서 발산의 위험이 있으므로 사용성이 떨어진다. 반면, 롤러나 마찰력은 모델이 간단하여 사용이 간편하고 수렴의 문제가 없으나, 지나치게 큰 지진응답을 발생할 우려가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이동식 라커베어링의 간단한 세 모델 중, 어느 모델이 실제에 가장 가까운 마찰력+락킹 모델에 유사한 응답을 발생시키는가를 살펴보고자 하는데 있다. 롤러모델은 락킹모델에 비해 큰 값을 나타내므로, 사용하는 것이 바랍직하지 않다. 마찰모델은 약한 지진운동에서 상부구조의 변위가 작아 라커베어링에 락킹현상이 발생하지 않을 때 적합하다. 중 또는 강진운동에서는 락킹현상이 발생하므로, 마찰력과 하드닝을 고려한 모델이 실제 응답에 가장 유사한 것으로 판단되었다.

Recently, laser printers have been developed to have high-speed laser scanner with hydrodynamic bearings. Among the bearings, herringbone grooved bearing (HGB) produces hydrodynamic pressure by high-speed rotating and so make the surfaces between the shaft and sleeve separated. Accordingly, the bearings with non-contact rotation are suitable to high-speed rotating and have long bearing life and reliability. HGB is a kind of journal bearing and uses oil for a lubricant. HGB has excellent stiffness and load carrying capacity. Also, HGB is leakage-free due to groove pumping action. Consequently, HGB is valuable to be applied to high-performance devices such as hard disk drive, copier, and so on.

Reynolds equation, which describes behavior of fluid film in journal bearings, basically satisfies mass conservation. But, boundary conditions usually used with this equation, e.g. half Sommerfeld or Reynolds boundary conditions, cannot fulfill this natural law of conservation. In the case of connecting rod bearing, where applied load is dynamic and its magnitude is relatively large, such unrealistic boundary conditions have serious influence on calculation results, especially on lubricant flow rate or power disspation which are important parameters in thermal analysis. In this paper, mass-conserving boundary condition was applied in the finite element analysis of connecting rod bearings. Lubricant flow rate and power dissipation rate were calculated together with journal center locus, minimum film thickness and maxmium film pressure. These computation results were compared with those of the case of Reynolds boundary condition. Balance between inlet and outlet flow rate was well achieved in the case of mass-conserving boundary condition.

This paper presents a combinatorial method to compute the solutions of optimization problem. The present hybrid algorithm is the synthesis of an artificial life algorithm and the random tabu search method. The hybrid algorithm is not only faster than the conventional artificial life algorithm, but also gives a more accurate solution. In addition, this algorithm can find all global optimum solutions. And the enhanced artificial life algorithm is applied to optimum design of high-speed, short journal bearings and the usefuless is verified through this example.

Experiment on the modal balancing of a flexible rotor supported on two kinds of fluid film bearings is performed to verify the modal balancing theory. The fluid film bearings are a tilting pad bearing and a two axial grooved journal bearing. One is inherently stable, but the other is not. The experimental result shows that the modal balancing method is effective for balancing of a high speed flexible rotor system. Besides, the critical speeds and mode shapes measured experimentally are in good coincidence with the results of rotordynamic analysis. Oil whip, which is the instability phenomenon due to fluid film force, is also observed during the experiment.

This paper presents the artificial life algorithm which is remarkable in the area of engineering for optimum design. As artificial life organisms have a sensing system, they can find the resource which they want to find and metabolize it. And the characteristics of artificial life are emergence and dynamical interacting with environment. In other words, the micro interaction with each other in the artificial life's group results in emergent colonization in the whole system. In this paper, therefore, artificial life algorithm by using above characteristics is employed into functions optimization. The effectiveness of this proposed algorithm is verified through the numerical test of single and multi objective functions. The numerical tests also show that the proposed algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm and immune algorithm for the Multi-peak function. And artificial life algorithm is also applied to optimum design of high-speed, short journal bearings and verified through the numerical test.
