Abstract: This paper analyses the steady state performance characteristics of a rigid rotor mounted finite oil journal bearings considering pressure depended viscosity effect including elastic distortion on the surface of bearing liner. The theoretical analysis is intended to show how the effect of elastic distortion on the journal bearing performance for three-dimensional bearing geometries. The deformation equations for bearing surface will be solved simultaneously with hydrodynamic equations considering variable viscosity. It has been observed that load carrying capacity decreases with increase of the elasticity parameter of the bearing liner for loaded bearings and load carrying capacity increases with increase of the viscosity parameter.
Keywords: Journal bearing, surface deformation, viscosity, attitude angle, eccentricity ratio, Reynolds equation.
