Effect of possible rotor deformation on the probability of face contact for a liquid film bearingTools Bailey, N.Y., Hibberd, Stephen and Power, H. (2017) Effect of possible rotor deformation on the probability of face contact for a liquid film bearing. Tribology International, 109 . pp. 297-310. ISSN 1879-2464 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThe possibility of face contact is examined for a coaxial rotor-stator bearing in dynamic motion constrained by a highly rotating very thin liquid film. A modified Reynolds equation for pressurised flow is coupled to the bearing structure leading to determination of the bearing gap from solving a nonlinear second-order non-autonomous ordinary differential equation. Periodic solutions are found via a mapping solver. Rotor deformation is parametrised by a coning angle and considered a random variable. The method of derived distributions is used to quantify variation in coning angle and examine the probability of rotor-stator contact. Additionally, effects of possible destabilising random aspects on the axial rotor oscillations are investigated. Exact solutions for probability of contact are obtained for various bearing configurations.
