An experimental investigation was conducted at Cornell University as a part of a research program sponsored by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to study the behavior of full Journal bearings under steady load when acted upon by a steady misalining couple. Dis¬placements of the ends of the journal axis relative to the bearing axis were measured with either an axial couple applied in the plane of the central load or a twisting couple in the plane normal to the central load. Oil-flow-rate and bearing-temperature measurements were also made to determine the effect of misalining couples on these quantities.
