Stability of a constant flow valve compensated multi-recess conical hybrid journal bearing operating with micropolar lubricant

The present paper investigates the influence of micropolar lubrication on the stability of a constant flow valve compensated multi-recess conical hybrid journal bearing system. Eringen's micropolar fluid theory has been used to model the micropolar lubrication in a fluid-film bearing system. The modified Reynolds equation of the micropolar lubricated bearing system has been solved using finite element method. Performance characteristics...
