Abstract

The journal bearing has been an important mechanical part of the mechanical system, and over the decade's researchers have been investigating how to analyse and enhance its performance. In order to improve the bearing performance, the surface texture and texture shape have the potential to improve its performance efficiently. Therefore, the present paper investigates the effect of different types of texture such as elliptical, cylindrical for the steady-state characteristics of journal bearing. It has been found that the incorporation of texture on the inner side surface of the bearing has a significant influence on the steady-state characteristics of the bearing. The resultsare obtained in terms of non-dimensional Sommerfeld number (S), attitude angle (ф), friction variable (μ), and flow coefficient (q_z), by using the finite difference method and Gauss-Seidel method. The successive over-relaxation (SOR) technique has been applied to satisfy the boundary conditions. The obtained reluts show the improvement in tribological performance of the bearing characteristics through incorporation of texture. In addition, a comparative analysis of textured bearings i.e., elliptical, cylindrical is also done withplain journal bearing. It has been investigated that elliptical surfacestexturehas superior performance in contrast to cylindrical and plain textures.
