Abstract

Note presenting a demonstration of the effect of axial and twisting misaligning couples on the oil film pressure distribution of a loaded bearing as shown by photographs of a number of three-dimensional plaster models representing averaged oil film pressure distribution under representative conditions. Five models with five different conditions were tested. Results regarding the oil film pressure distribution, bearing temperature distribution, and friction are provided.
