“…Our modified Flender test could thus be useful for optimizing formulation of deaerating agents for lubricating oils. As well, in recent articles, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of lubrication in bearings have been developped, that integrate aeration e↵ects, and eventually provide a better agreement with the data [22,23]. It would then be interesting to couple independent ultrasound measurements of bubble sizes and gas fractions with these numerical developments, to test the validity and improve such numerical solvers.…”

“…Through finite element analysis, the temperature distribution of railway double-row tapered roller bearings under test conditions was investigated (Gao et al, 2022). A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to consider effects of aeration on the lubricant behavior in tapered roller bearings (Maccioni et al, 2022). Under angular misalignment, two types of logarithmic crowning models for the roller profile were theoretically designed (Wu et al, 2020).…”

The roller end/rib contact of tapered roller bearings significantly affects lubricating condition and power loss. To improve the lubrication performance of the inner ring rib and the large end of the roller in tapered roller bearings used in railway coaches, based on the structural analysis of the inner rib and the large end of the roller and considering spin–slide effects between the rib and the large end of the roller, a thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication model with a Carreau rheological model was established in a tapered roller bearing. Two kinds of rib structures were provided: the tapered rib and spherical rib. Under different conditions, variations in the friction coefficient versus the ratio of curvature radius of the large end of the roller to that of the rib were compared, and the film thickness and film temperature varied with the rotational speed and the effect of load was compared between the two rib structures. Results showed that spinning motion has little effect on the lubrication at the contact point between the inner ring rib and the large end of the tapered roller. There exists an optimal ratio of the curvature radius between the large end of the roller and the spherical or tapered rib; moreover, the friction coefficient corresponding to this optimal ratio value is the smallest. With the increase in the inner ring speed, both film thickness and temperature increase for the two rib structures. Different from the spherical rib, the difference between the minimum and the central film thickness is almost unchangeable, and the tapered rib shows a slight temperature rise. As the load increases, the difference between the minimum and the central film thickness becomes larger, and the temperature in the contact zone gradually increases for the two ribs. Different from the tapered rib, the lower frictional coefficient and lower minimum film thickness are generated for the spherical rib because of higher film temperature.

The present article deals with the effects of deformable bearing shells on the performance of lobed slot-entry hybrid journal bearing systems. The influence of the deformation coefficient [Formula: see text] has been studied using the thin liner elasticity model, which measures the flexibility of the bearing liner. Recently, smart fluid, that is, electrorheological (ER) fluid has been used in various tribological systems to obtain better performance. Therefore, the influence of ER lubricant on the bearing performance characteristics has also been studied in this work. Bingham model constitutive relation has been used to analyze the non-Newtonian behavior of ER fluid. The performance of fluid film bearings is greatly influenced by the noncircularity of the bearings. Therefore, the behavior of deformable bearing shells in a slot-entry journal bearing for lobed conditions has also been studied in the present study. The results reveal that considering deformation in the bearing shell reduces the value of frictional torque, whereas the value of stiffness coefficients and stability threshold speed increases. However, ER lubricant enhances the value of film thickness, stiffness/damping coefficients, and stability threshold speed margin.
