Thermohydrodynamic Instability in Fluid-Film Bearings

<p><i>Thermohydrodynamic Instability in Fluid-Film Bearings</i> aims to establish instability criteria for a rotor-bearing system associated with fluid-film journal bearings.</p> <ul> <li>It focuses on how the influencing factors such as rotor flexibility, manufacturing imperfections such as residual shaft unbalance, and service-related imperfections such as uneven wear affect the stability of a rotor-bearing system</li> <li>It shows how the specific operating conditions such as oil inlet temperature, inlet pressure, and inlet position of a rotor-bearing system directly influence the system stability</li> <li>General design guidelines have been summarized to guide the engineering system design and the correction of failure and/or malfunction</li> </ul>
