Linear stability performance analysis of finite hydrostatic porous journal bearings under the coupled stress lubrication with the additives effects into pores

摘要

A theoretical investigation into the stability performance characteristics of a finite externally pressurized porous journal bearing has been undertaken with the slip flow of coupled stress fluid. The analysis deals with the modified Darcy-type equation incorporating the additive effect in the porous bush. A modified form of Reynolds equation is obtained using Stokes micro-continuum theory of coupled stress fluids as lubricant. Applying the first-order perturbation of the film thickness and steady-state film pressure, the stability parameters are obtained under various parametric conditions. The results reveal that stability deteriorates with increase in coupled stress parameter for a value of percolation factor under full slip condition.
