A simple technique for the rapid design and performance evaluation of steady-state journal bearings is presented. The technique which is amenable to hand calculator use is compared with a numerical solution for all relevant design parameters. Results indicate that the bearing designer may utilize the technique over a wide range of (L/D) and eccentricity ratios without serious error.
