프로팅링저어널베어링은 저어널과 슬리브 사이에 자유롭게 움직일 수 있는 링을 삽입하여 이중의 유막이 형성되도록 한 것이다. 프로팅링저어널베어링은 이중의 유막을 가짐으로 인해 유량이 많이 필요하여 열적 특성이 좋고 마찰손실이 작으며 외축유막의 진동감쇠작용을 기대할 수 있으나, 링에 의해 내외축유막이 분리되어 있으므로 내축유막에 윤활제를 공급하는 것이 쉽지 않은 문제점이 있다. 동베어링에 대한 윤활제의 공급방법으로는 축을 통한 공급을 고려하지 않을 경우 다음과 같은 두가지를 생각할 수 있다. 첫째, 링에 내외축유막을 연결하는 급유구를 뚫어 외축유막으로 공급된 윤활제의 일부가 급유구를 통해 내축유막으로도 공급되도록 하는 방법 둘째, 축방향의 일단에서 내외축유막에 직접 가압급유하는 방법 이 가운데 둘째 방법은 축방향의 일단이 윤활제에 완전히 잠겨 있도록 밀봉하여야 하는 번거로움이 있으므로 잘 사용되지 않고 첫째 방법을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 첫째 방법에서도 링내외면에 원주방향급유홈을 파면 내외축유막으로의 윤활제공급이 보다 더 원활히 이루어 질 수 있을 것으로 기대되는데, 본논문에서는 이와 같이 원주방향급유홈이 있는 베어링을 원주방향급유홈 프로팅링저어널베어링이라 부르기도 하고, 이에 대하여 해석하고자 한다.

The stability of the flexible rotor mounted on circumferentially grooved floating ring journal bearings was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The floating ring journal bearing was analyzed by using JFO reformation boundary condition. The flexible shaft was analyzed by the finite element method based on Rayleigh beam theory. It was found that the measured ring speed agrees well with the theoretical results. The instability of the system due to not only the outer film but also the inner film of the bearing could be predicted by the theory which allows negative vapor pressure. The tendency that reducing the supply pressure of lubricant stabilizes the system was observed both experimentally and theoretically.

In this study, the effect of dimensions and location of oil grooves on the static performance of a cylindrical journal bearing is analyzed numerically. Axial length, circumferential length and location of oil grooves are considered as parameters. Cavitation occurs within the diverging region of a journal bearing. The distribution of cavitation region where cavitation occurs varies with dimensions and location of oil grooves and affects the performance of a journal bearing. Elrod's cavitation algorithm which implements JFO boundary conditions based on the principle of mass conservation at the interfaces between cavitation and full film region is adopted in order to consider the effect of cavitation. The result shows that parameters, especially location of oil grooves have a great effect on the static performance of a journal bearing.

As journal bearing has a sliding motion between the shaft and bearing with lubricating oil, it produces a hydrodynamic lubrication condition. Journal bearing can receive a large force because it takes a distributed load at the large friction face. As the oil groove or oil hole is made in the journal bearing surface for the journal bearing smoothly working under a hydrodynamic lubrication condition, sufficient lubricating oil is supplied through the clearance of journal bearing. The performance of the journal bearing is changed according to the shapes, sizes and positions of an oil groove. In this paper, the flow rate according to the oil groove shapes (triangle, semicircle and rectangle) among the various oil supply conditions was measured. The shape that discharges the highest flow rate was observed and the groove shape of optimal performance for the journal bearing was determined. The results showed that the flow rate increases with decreasing operating temperature, the influence of temperature on the flow rate decreased with increasing rotational speed, and flow rate in the triangular groove shape was greater than in other shapes.

The static and dynamic performances of a floating ring journal bearing with central circumferential grooves at the inner and outer films are obtained numerically with isothermal lubrication theory. Elrod algorithm implementing Jakobsson-Floberg-Olsson cavitation boundary condition is adopted to predict cavitation regions in the inner and outer films more accurately than conventional analyses using half Sommerfeld or Reynolds conditions. The pressure drop in the circumferential groove of the inner film due to the rotation of the journal and ring is taken into account. It is shown that the lubricant supply pressure has significant influence on the load capacity and dynamic coefficients of the bearing. When the supply pressure is low and the journal speed is high, the pressure drop results in severe starvation of lubricant in the inner film and varies the overall performance of the bearing remarkably.

Nonlinear characteristics of the hydrodynamic journal bearing with circumferentially groove are analyzed numerically considering cavitation region, when an external sinusoidal shock is given to the system. The oil film force is obtained by solving the finite width universal Reynolds equation at each time step. Frequency response function and journal orbit obtained from both linear and nonlinear bearing simulations are compared with each other. The vibration response of the journal is different from the expectation obtained from the linear analysis as increase the vibration amplitude of external disturbance. Therefore, the linear theory is not adequate, and the nonlinear calculation such as used in this research is needed to design safety rotor systems.
